net: x25: fix one potential use-after-free issue

2017-05-18T14:05:40+00:00

The function x25_init is not properly unregister related resources
on error handler.It is will result in kernel oops if x25_init init
failed, so add properly unregister call on error handler.

Also, i adjust the coding style and make x25_register_sysctl properly
return failure.

Revert "ipv4: restore rt->fi for reference counting"

2017-05-09T02:35:32+00:00

This reverts commit 82486aa6f1b9bc8145e6d0fa2bc0b44307f3b875.

As implemented, this causes dangling netdevice refs.

ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf

2017-05-08T21:31:24+00:00

For each netns (except init_net), we initialize its null entry
in 3 places:

1) The template itself, as we use kmemdup()
2) Code around dst_init_metrics() in ip6_route_net_init()
3) ip6_route_dev_notify(), which is supposed to initialize it after
   loopback registers

Unfortunately the last one still happens in a wrong order because
we expect to initialize net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev to
net->loopback_dev's idev, thus we have to do that after we add
idev to loopback. However, this notifier has priority == 0 same as
ipv6_dev_notf, and ipv6_dev_notf is registered after
ip6_route_dev_notifier so it is called actually after
ip6_route_dev_notifier. This is similar to commit 2f460933f58e
("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") which
fixes init_net.

Fix it by picking a smaller priority for ip6_route_dev_notifier.
Also, we have to release the refcnt accordingly when unregistering
loopback_dev because device exit functions are called before subsys
exit functions.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
A couple more fixes:
 * don't try to authenticate during reconfiguration, which causes
   drivers to get confused
 * fix a kernel-doc warning for a recently merged change
 * fix MU-MIMO group configuration (relevant only for monitor mode)
 * more rate flags fix: remove stray RX_ENC_FLAG_40MHZ
 * fix IBSS probe response allocation size

tcp: make congestion control optionally skip slow start after idle

2017-05-08T18:37:07+00:00

Congestion control modules that want full control over congestion
control behavior do not want the cwnd modifications controlled by
the sysctl_tcp_slow_start_after_idle code path.
So skip those code paths for CC modules that use the cong_control()
API.
As an example, those cwnd effects are not desired for the BBR congestion
control algorithm.

ipv4: restore rt->fi for reference counting

2017-05-08T18:35:03+00:00

IPv4 dst could use fi->fib_metrics to store metrics but fib_info
itself is refcnt'ed, so without taking a refcnt fi and
fi->fib_metrics could be freed while dst metrics still points to
it. This triggers use-after-free as reported by Andrey twice.

This patch reverts commit 2860583fe840 ("ipv4: Kill rt->fi") to
restore this reference counting. It is a quick fix for -net and
-stable, for -net-next, as Eric suggested, we can consider doing
reference counting for metrics itself instead of relying on fib_info.

IPv6 is very different, it copies or steals the metrics from mx6_config
in fib6_commit_metrics() so probably doesn't need a refcnt.

Decnet has already done the refcnt'ing, see dn_fib_semantic_match().

mac80211: properly remove RX_ENC_FLAG_40MHZ

2017-05-08T09:11:56+00:00

Somehow I missed this in my RX rate cleanup series, causing some
drivers to not report correct bandwidth since this flag isn't
used by mac80211 anymore. Fix this, and make hwsim also report
higher bandwidths appropriately.

tcp: randomize timestamps on syncookies

2017-05-05T16:00:11+00:00

Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker
can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps,
directly revealing server jiffies value.

Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary
depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS
drops for innocent clients.

Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies.

Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not
used from a module.

In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to
tcp_get_cookie_sock().

v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.
