net/ipv4: Check for mistakenly passed in non-IPv4 address

2011-06-02T04:05:22+00:00

Check against mistakenly passing in IPv6 addresses (which would result
in an INADDR_ANY bind) or similar incompatible sockaddrs.

ip_options_compile: properly handle unaligned pointer

2011-05-31T22:11:02+00:00

The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to
make it big-endian, then does a memcpy().  The problem is that the
compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal
to optimize the copy into a processor word store.  However, on an
architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space,
this produces an unaligned exception fault.

The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch
of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32()
to write the value to memory.

inetpeer: fix race in unused_list manipulations

2011-05-27T17:39:11+00:00

Several crashes in cleanup_once() were reported in recent kernels.

Commit d6cc1d642de9 (inetpeer: various changes) added a race in
unlink_from_unused().

One way to avoid taking unused_peers.lock before doing the list_empty()
test is to catch 0->1 refcnt transitions, using full barrier atomic
operations variants (atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_inc_return()) instead
of previous atomic_inc() and atomic_add_unless() variants.

We then call unlink_from_unused() only for the owner of the 0->1
transition.

Add a new atomic_add_unless_return() static helper

With help from Arun Sharma.

igmp: call ip_mc_clear_src() only when we have no users of ip_mc_list

2011-05-24T17:26:12+00:00

In igmp_group_dropped() we call ip_mc_clear_src(), which resets the number
of source filters per mulitcast. However, igmp_group_dropped() is also
called on NETDEV_DOWN, NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE and NETDEV_UNREGISTER, which
means that the group might get added back on NETDEV_UP, NETDEV_REGISTER and
NETDEV_POST_TYPE_CHANGE respectively, leaving us with broken source
filters.

To fix that, we must clear the source filters only when there are no users
in the ip_mc_list, i.e. in ip_mc_dec_group() and on device destroy.

net: convert %p usage to %pK

2011-05-24T05:13:12+00:00

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.
