sctp: fix race on protocol/netns initialization

2015-10-01T09:36:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8e2d61e0aed2b7c4ecb35844fe07e0b2b762dee4 ]

Consider sctp module is unloaded and is being requested because an user
is creating a sctp socket.

During initialization, sctp will add the new protocol type and then
initialize pernet subsys:

        status = sctp_v4_protosw_init();
        if (status)
                goto err_protosw_init;

        status = sctp_v6_protosw_init();
        if (status)
                goto err_v6_protosw_init;

        status = register_pernet_subsys(&sctp_net_ops);

The problem is that after those calls to sctp_v{4,6}_protosw_init(), it
is possible for userspace to create SCTP sockets like if the module is
already fully loaded. If that happens, one of the possible effects is
that we will have readers for net->sctp.local_addr_list list earlier
than expected and sctp_net_init() does not take precautions while
dealing with that list, leading to a potential panic but not limited to
that, as sctp_sock_init() will copy a bunch of blank/partially
initialized values from net->sctp.

The race happens like this:

     CPU 0                           |  CPU 1
  socket()                           |
   __sock_create                     | socket()
    inet_create                      |  __sock_create
     list_for_each_entry_rcu(        |
        answer, &inetsw[sock->type], |
        list) {                      |   inet_create
      /* no hits */                  |
     if (unlikely(err)) {            |
      ...                            |
      request_module()               |
      /* socket creation is blocked  |
       * the module is fully loaded  |
       */                            |
       sctp_init                     |
        sctp_v4_protosw_init         |
         inet_register_protosw       |
          list_add_rcu(&p->list,     |
                       last_perm);   |
                                     |  list_for_each_entry_rcu(
                                     |     answer, &inetsw[sock->type],
        sctp_v6_protosw_init         |     list) {
                                     |     /* hit, so assumes protocol
                                     |      * is already loaded
                                     |      */
                                     |  /* socket creation continues
                                     |   * before netns is initialized
                                     |   */
        register_pernet_subsys       |

Simply inverting the initialization order between
register_pernet_subsys() and sctp_v4_protosw_init() is not possible
because register_pernet_subsys() will create a control sctp socket, so
the protocol must be already visible by then. Deferring the socket
creation to a work-queue is not good specially because we loose the
ability to handle its errors.

So, as suggested by Vlad, the fix is to split netns initialization in
two moments: defaults and control socket, so that the defaults are
already loaded by when we register the protocol, while control socket
initialization is kept at the same moment it is today.

sctp: reset flowi4_oif parameter on route lookup

2014-05-31T20:20:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 85350871317a5adb35519d9dc6fc9e80809d42ad ]

commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is
in output route lookups.) introduces another regression which
is very similar to the problem of commit e6b45241c (ipv4: reset
flowi parameters on route connect) wants to fix:
Before we call ip_route_output_key() in sctp_v4_get_dst() to
get a dst that matches a bind address as the source address,
we have already called this function previously and the flowi
parameters have been initialized including flowi4_oif, so when
we call this function again, the process in __ip_route_output_key()
will be different because of the setting of flowi4_oif, and we'll
get a networking device which corresponds to the inputted flowi4_oif
as the output device, this is wrong because we'll never hit this
place if the previously returned source address of dst match one
of the bound addresses.

To reproduce this problem, a vlan setting is enough:
  # ifconfig eth0 up
  # route del default
  # vconfig add eth0 2
  # vconfig add eth0 3
  # ifconfig eth0.2 10.0.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0
  # route add default gw 10.0.1.254 dev eth0.2
  # ifconfig eth0.3 10.0.0.14 netmask 255.255.255.0
  # ip rule add from 10.0.0.14 table 4
  # ip route add table 4 default via 10.0.0.254 src 10.0.0.14 dev eth0.3
  # sctp_darn -H 10.0.0.14 -P 36422 -h 10.1.4.134 -p 36422 -s -I
You'll detect that all the flow are routed to eth0.2(10.0.1.254).

ipv4: introduce hardened ip_no_pmtu_disc mode

2014-01-13T19:22:55+00:00

This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors
to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the
ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to
run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu
for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback
for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information.

Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check
if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.

With the restructuring of the lksctp.org site, we only allow bug
reports through the SCTP mailing list linux-sctp@vger.kernel.org,
not via SF, as SF is only used for web hosting and nothing more.
While at it, also remove the obvious statement that bugs will be
