commit 79e48650320e6fba48369fccf13fd045315b19b8 upstream.

Stack object "dte_facilities" is allocated in x25_rx_call_request(),
which is supposed to be initialized in x25_negotiate_facilities.
However, 5 fields (8 bytes in total) are not initialized. This
object is then copied to userland via copy_to_user, thus infoleak
occurs.

The stack object “map” has a total size of 32 bytes. Its last 4
bytes are padding generated by compiler. These padding bytes are
not initialized and sent out via “nla_put”.

commit 31b0b385f69d8d5491a4bca288e25e63f1d945d0 upstream.

The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under
/sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see
the filenames.

Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure
to generate a unique name.

This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single
kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding
leaking kernel pointers to user space.

commit c4fdb6cff2aa0ae740c5f19b6f745cbbe786d42f upstream.

When removing a single interface while a broadcast or ogm packet is
still pending then we will free the forward packet without releasing the
queue slots again.

This patch is supposed to fix this issue.

commit d1a65f1741bfd9c69f9e4e2ad447a89b6810427d upstream.

_batadv_update_route rcu_derefences orig_ifinfo-&gt;router outside of a
spinlock protected region to print some information messages to the debug
log. But this pointer is not checked again when the new pointer is assigned
in the spinlock protected region. Thus is can happen that the value of
orig_ifinfo-&gt;router changed in the meantime and thus the reference counter
of the wrong router gets reduced after the spinlock protected region.

Just rcu_dereferencing the value of orig_ifinfo-&gt;router inside the spinlock
protected region (which also set the new pointer) is enough to get the
correct old router object.

The encapsulated ethernet and VLAN header may be outside the received
ethernet frame. Thus the skb buffer size has to be checked before it can be

commit 8f815cdde3e550e10c2736990d791f60c2ce43eb upstream.

A non-privileged user can create a netlink socket with the same port_id as
used by an existing open nl80211 netlink socket (e.g. as used by a hostapd
process) with a different protocol number.

Closing this socket will then lead to the notification going to nl80211's
socket release notification handler, and possibly cause an action such as
removing a virtual interface.

Fix this issue by checking that the netlink protocol is NETLINK_GENERIC.
Since generic netlink has no notifier chain of its own, we can't fix the
problem more generically.

commit 54d83fc74aa9ec72794373cb47432c5f7fb1a309 upstream.

Ben Hawkes says:

 In the mark_source_chains function (net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c) it
 is possible for a user-supplied ipt_entry structure to have a large
 next_offset field. This field is not bounds checked prior to writing a
 counter value at the supplied offset.

Problem is that mark_source_chains should not have been called --
the rule doesn't have a next entry, so its supposed to return
an absolute verdict of either ACCEPT or DROP.

However, the function conditional() doesn't work as the name implies.
It only checks that the rule is using wildcard address matching.

However, an unconditional rule must also not be using any matches
(no -m args).

The underflow validator only checked the addresses, therefore
passing the 'unconditional absolute verdict' test, while
mark_source_chains also tested for presence of matches, and thus
proceeeded to the next (not-existent) rule.

Unify this so that all the callers have same idea of 'unconditional rule'.
