commit 2690d97ade05c5325cbf7c72b94b90d265659886 upstream.

Commit 5901b6be885e attempted to introduce IPv6 support into
IRC NAT helper. By doing so, the following code seemed to be removed
by accident:

  ip = ntohl(exp-&gt;master-&gt;tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].tuple.dst.u3.ip);
  sprintf(buffer, "%u %u", ip, port);
  pr_debug("nf_nat_irc: inserting '%s' == %pI4, port %u\n", buffer, &amp;ip, port);

This leads to the fact that buffer[] was left uninitialized and
contained some stack value. When we call nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet(),
we call strlen(buffer) on excatly this uninitialized buffer. If we
are unlucky and the skb has enough tailroom, we overwrite resp. leak
contents with values that sit on our stack into the packet and send
that out to the receiver.

Since the rather informal DCC spec [1] does not seem to specify
IPv6 support right now, we log such occurences so that admins can
act accordingly, and drop the packet. I've looked into XChat source,
and IPv6 is not supported there: addresses are in u32 and print
via %u format string.

Therefore, restore old behaviour as in IPv4, use snprintf(). The
IRC helper does not support IPv6 by now. By this, we can safely use
strlen(buffer) in nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() and prevent a buffer
overflow. Also simplify some code as we now have ct variable anyway.

commit 23dfe136e2bf8d9ea1095704c535368a9bc721da upstream.

In commit 41d73ec053d2, sequence number adjustments were moved to a
separate file. Unfortunately, the sequence numbers that are stored
in the nf_ct_seqadj structure are expressed in host byte order. The
necessary ntohl call was removed when the call to adjust_tcp_sequence
was collapsed into nf_ct_seqadj_set. This broke the FTP NAT helper.
Fix it by adding back the byte order conversions.

commit 277d916fc2e959c3f106904116bb4f7b1148d47a upstream.

The check needs to apply to both multicast and unicast packets,
otherwise probe requests on AP mode scans are sent through the multicast
buffer queue, which adds long delays (often longer than the scanning
interval).

<title>bridge: use spin_lock_bh() in br_multicast_set_hash_max</title>

[ Upstream commit fe0d692bbc645786bce1a98439e548ae619269f5 ]

br_multicast_set_hash_max() is called from process context in
net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c by the sysfs store_hash_max() function.

br_multicast_set_hash_max() calls spin_lock(&amp;br-&gt;multicast_lock),
which can deadlock the CPU if a softirq that also tries to take the
same lock interrupts br_multicast_set_hash_max() while the lock is
held .  This can happen quite easily when any of the bridge multicast
timers expire, which try to take the same lock.

The fix here is to use spin_lock_bh(), preventing other softirqs from
executing on this CPU.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bridge with several interfaces (I used 4).
2. Set the "multicast query interval" to a low number, like 2.
3. Enable the bridge as a multicast querier.
4. Repeatedly set the bridge hash_max parameter via sysfs.

  # brctl addbr br0
  # brctl addif br0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4
  # brctl setmcqi br0 2
  # brctl setmcquerier br0 1

  # while true ; do echo 4096 &gt; /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/hash_max; done

While commit 30a584d944fb fixes datagram interface in LLC, a use
after free bug has been introduced for SOCK_STREAM sockets that do
not make use of MSG_PEEK.

The flow is as follow ...

    sk_eat_skb(sk, skb, false);
    ...
  }
  ...
  if (used + offset &lt; skb-&gt;len)
    continue;

... where sk_eat_skb() calls __kfree_skb(). Therefore, cache
original length and work on skb_len to check partial reads.

[ Upstream commit 7a7ffbabf99445704be01bff5d7e360da908cf8e ]

VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE
tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE
GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4).

Two issues -
(VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with
SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header
integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is
TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb-&gt;len that
includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied
to the inner packet.

(VXLAN &amp; GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs
is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the
tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be
restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original
packet.

[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ]

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
be invoked directly.

But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
header_ops up to the VLAN device.

This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
will see a VLAN device instead.

Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
to pass the proper real device instead.

To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
implementations which provide a -&gt;cache and -&gt;create but not a
-&gt;rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.

Use this helper in the one existing place where the
header_ops-&gt;rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.

With lots of help from Florian Westphal.

[ Upstream commit f81152e35001e91997ec74a7b4e040e6ab0acccf ]

recvmsg handler in net/rose/af_rose.c performs size-check -&gt;msg_namelen.

After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c
(net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic), we now
always take the else branch due to namelen being initialized to 0.

Digging in netdev-vger-cvs git repo shows that msg_namelen was
initialized with a fixed-size since at least 1995, so the else branch
was never taken.

Compile tested only.

[ Upstream commit c2349758acf1874e4c2b93fe41d072336f1a31d0 ]

Binding might result in a NULL device, which is dereferenced
