commit 096f41d3a8fcbb8dde7f71379b1ca85fe213eded upstream.

The parsing of sadb_x_ipsecrequest is broken in a number of ways.
First of all we're not verifying sadb_x_ipsecrequest_len.  This
is needed when the structure carries addresses at the end.  Worse
we don't even look at the length when we parse those optional
addresses.

The migration code had similar parsing code that's better but
it also has some deficiencies.  The length is overcounted first
of all as it includes the header itself.  It also fails to check
the length before dereferencing the sa_family field.

This patch fixes those problems in parse_sockaddr_pair and then
uses it in parse_ipsecrequest.

commit 329d82309824ff1082dc4a91a5bbed8c3bec1580 upstream.

This file is filled with complex cryptography. Thus, the comparisons of
MACs and secret keys and curve points and so forth should not add timing
attacks, which could either result in a direct forgery, or, given the
complexity, some other type of attack.

commit f6a5885fc4d68e7f25ffb42b9d8d80aebb3bacbb upstream.

Verify that the caller-provided sockaddr structure is large enough to
contain the sa_family field, before accessing it in bind() handlers of the
AF_NFC socket. Since the syscall doesn't enforce a minimum size of the
corresponding memory region, very short sockaddrs (zero or one byte long)
result in operating on uninitialized memory while referencing .sa_family.

<title>nfc: Fix the sockaddr length sanitization in llcp_sock_connect</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 608c4adfcabab220142ee335a2a003ccd1c0b25b upstream.

Fix the sockaddr length verification in the connect() handler of NFC/LLCP
sockets, to compare against the size of the actual structure expected on
input (sockaddr_nfc_llcp) instead of its shorter version (sockaddr_nfc).

Both structures are defined in include/uapi/linux/nfc.h. The fields
specific to the _llcp extended struct are as follows:

   276		__u8 dsap; /* Destination SAP, if known */
   277		__u8 ssap; /* Source SAP to be bound to */
   278		char service_name[NFC_LLCP_MAX_SERVICE_NAME]; /* Service name URI */;
   279		size_t service_name_len;

If the caller doesn't provide a sufficiently long sockaddr buffer, these
fields remain uninitialized (and they currently originate from the stack
frame of the top-level sys_connect handler). They are then copied by
llcp_sock_connect() into internal storage (nfc_llcp_sock structure), and
could be subsequently read back through the user-mode getsockname()
function (handled by llcp_sock_getname()). This would result in the
disclosure of up to ~70 uninitialized bytes from the kernel stack to
user-mode clients capable of creating AFC_NFC sockets.

commit a0323b979f81ad2deb2c8836eab506534891876a upstream.

Check that the NFC_ATTR_TARGET_INDEX and NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attributes (in
addition to NFC_ATTR_DEVICE_INDEX) are provided by the netlink client
prior to accessing them. This prevents potential unhandled NULL pointer
dereference exceptions which can be triggered by malicious user-mode
programs, if they omit one or both of these attributes.

commit 20777bc57c346b6994f465e0d8261a7fbf213a09 upstream.

Commit 7eda8b8e9677 ("NFC: Use IDR library to assing NFC devices IDs")
moved device-id allocation and struct-device initialisation from
nfc_allocate_device() to nfc_register_device().

This broke just about every nfc-device-registration error path, which
continue to call nfc_free_device() that tries to put the device
reference of the now uninitialised (but zeroed) struct device:

kobject: '(null)' (ce316420): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.

The late struct-device initialisation also meant that various work
queues whose names are derived from the nfc device name were also
misnamed:

  421 root         0 SW&lt;  [(null)_nci_cmd_]
  422 root         0 SW&lt;  [(null)_nci_rx_w]
  423 root         0 SW&lt;  [(null)_nci_tx_w]

Move the id-allocation and struct-device initialisation back to
nfc_allocate_device() and fix up the single call site which did not use
nfc_free_device() in its error path.

commit 9361df14d1cbf966409d5d6f48bb334384fbe138 upstream.

nla policy checks for only maximum length of the attribute data
when the attribute type is NLA_BINARY. If userspace sends less
data than specified, the wireless drivers may access illegal
memory. When type is NLA_UNSPEC, nla policy check ensures that
userspace sends minimum specified length number of bytes.

NL80211_ATTR_PMKID to make this NLA_UNSPEC and to make sure minimum
WLAN_PMKID_LEN bytes are received from userspace with

commit 8feb69c7bd89513be80eb19198d48f154b254021 upstream.

Buffer overread may happen as nl80211_set_station() reads 4 bytes
from the attribute NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE without
validating the size of data received when userspace sends less
than 4 bytes of data with NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE.
Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE to avoid
the buffer overread.

commit ec8add2a4c9df723c94a863b8fcd6d93c472deed upstream.

Currently, when the link for $DEV is down, this command succeeds but the
address is removed immediately by DAD (1):

    ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800

In the same situation, this will succeed and not remove the address (2):

    ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV
    ip addr change 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800

The comment in addrconf_dad_begin() when !IF_READY makes it look like
this is the intended behavior, but doesn't explain why:

     * If the device is not ready:
     * - keep it tentative if it is a permanent address.
     * - otherwise, kill it.

We clearly cannot prevent userspace from doing (2), but we can make (1)
work consistently with (2).

addrconf_dad_stop() is only called in two cases: if DAD failed, or to
skip DAD when the link is down. In that second case, the fix is to avoid
deleting the address, like we already do for permanent addresses.

Fixes: 3c21edbd1137 ("[IPV6]: Defer IPv6 device initialization until the link becomes ready.")
