[ Upstream commit b6168562c8ce2bd5a30e213021650422e08764dc ]

In ethtool_ioctl(), the ioctl command 'ethcmd' is checked through a switch
statement to see whether it is necessary to pre-process the ethtool
structure, because, as mentioned in the comment, the structure
ethtool_rxnfc is defined with padding. If yes, a user-space buffer 'rxnfc'
is allocated through compat_alloc_user_space(). One thing to note here is
that, if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL, the size of the buffer 'rxnfc' is
partially determined by 'rule_cnt', which is actually acquired from the
user-space buffer 'compat_rxnfc', i.e., 'compat_rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt', through
get_user(). After 'rxnfc' is allocated, the data in the original user-space
buffer 'compat_rxnfc' is then copied to 'rxnfc' through copy_in_user(),
including the 'rule_cnt' field. However, after this copy, no check is
re-enforced on 'rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt'. So it is possible that a malicious user
race to change the value in the 'compat_rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt' between these two
copies. Through this way, the attacker can bypass the previous check on
'rule_cnt' and inject malicious data. This can cause undefined behavior of
the kernel and introduce potential security risk.

This patch avoids the above issue via copying the value acquired by
get_user() to 'rxnfc-&gt;rule_cn', if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL.

[ Upstream commit e623a9e9dec29ae811d11f83d0074ba254aba374 ]

Commit 34b88a68f26a ("net: Fix use after free in the recvmmsg exit path"),
changed the exit path of recvmmsg to always return the datagrams
variable and modified the error paths to set the variable to the error
code returned by recvmsg if necessary.

However in the case sock_error returned an error, the error code was
then ignored, and recvmmsg returned 0.

Change the error path of recvmmsg to correctly return the error code
of sock_error.

The bug was triggered by using recvmmsg on a CAN interface which was
not up. Linux 4.6 and later return 0 in this case while earlier
releases returned -ENETDOWN.

[ Upstream commit 34b88a68f26a75e4fded796f1a49c40f82234b7d ]

The syzkaller fuzzer hit the following use-after-free:

  Call Trace:
   [&lt;ffffffff8175ea0e&gt;] __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x3e/0x40 mm/kasan/report.c:295
   [&lt;ffffffff851cc31a&gt;] __sys_recvmmsg+0x6fa/0x7f0 net/socket.c:2261
   [&lt;     inline     &gt;] SYSC_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2281

   [&lt;ffffffff86332bb6&gt;] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x7a
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:185

And, as Dmitry rightly assessed, that is because we can drop the
reference and then touch it when the underlying recvmsg calls return
some packets and then hit an error, which will make recvmmsg to set
sock-&gt;sk-&gt;sk_err, oops, fix it.

[ Upstream commit HEAD ]

Based on 08adb7dabd4874cc5666b4490653b26534702ce0 upstream.

We found that after v3.10.73, recvmsg might return -EFAULT while -EINVAL
was expected.

We tested it through the recvmsg01 testcase come from LTP testsuit. It set
msg-&gt;msg_namelen to -1 and the recvmsg syscall returned errno 14, which is
unexpected (errno 22 is expected):

recvmsg01    4  TFAIL  :  invalid socket length ; returned -1 (expected -1),
errno 14 (expected 22)

Linux mainline has no this bug for commit 08adb7dab fixes it accidentally.
However, it is too large and complex to be backported to LTS 3.10.

Commit 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match
copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour) made get_compat_msghdr() return
error if msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen was negative, which changed the behaviors
of recvmsg and sendmsg syscall in a lib32 system:

Before commit 281c9c36, get_compat_msghdr() wouldn't fail and it would
return -EINVAL in move_addr_to_user() or somewhere if msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen
was invalid and then syscall returned -EINVAL, which is correct.

And now, when msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen is negative, get_compat_msghdr() will
fail and wants to return -EINVAL, however, the outer syscall will return
-EFAULT directly, which is unexpected.

This patch gets the return value of get_compat_msghdr() as well as
copy_msghdr_from_user(), then returns this expected value if
get_compat_msghdr() fails.

Linux manpage for recvmsg and sendmsg calls does not explicitly mention setting msg_namelen to 0 when
msg_name passed set as NULL. When developers don't set msg_namelen member in msghdr, it might contain garbage
value which will fail the validation check and sendmsg and recvmsg calls from kernel will return EINVAL. This will
break old binaries and any code for which there is no access to source code.
To fix this, we set msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is passed as NULL from userland.

Few packets have timestamping enabled. Exit sock_tx_timestamp quickly
in this common case.

security_file_set_fowner always returns 0, so make it f_setown and
__f_setown void return functions and fix up the error handling in the
callers.
