The cipso and calipso code can set the MLS_CAT attribute on
successful parsing, even if the corresponding catmap has
not been allocated, as per current configuration and external
input.

Later, selinux code tries to access the catmap if the MLS_CAT flag
is present via netlbl_catmap_getlong(). That may cause null ptr
dereference while processing incoming network traffic.

Address the issue setting the MLS_CAT flag only if the catmap is
really allocated. Additionally let netlbl_catmap_getlong() cope
with NULL catmap.

This reverts commit 19bda36c4299ce3d7e5bce10bebe01764a655a6d:

| ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu
|
| Prior to this patch, ipv6 didn't do mtu lock check in ip6_update_pmtu.
| It leaded to that mtu lock doesn't really work when receiving the pkt
| of ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG.
|
| This patch is to add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu just as ipv4
| did in __ip_rt_update_pmtu.

The above reasoning is incorrect.  IPv6 *requires* icmp based pmtu to work.
There's already a comment to this effect elsewhere in the kernel:

  $ git grep -p -B1 -A3 'RTAX_MTU lock'
  net/ipv6/route.c=4813=

  static int rt6_mtu_change_route(struct fib6_info *f6i, void *p_arg)
  ...
    /* In IPv6 pmtu discovery is not optional,
       so that RTAX_MTU lock cannot disable it.
       We still use this lock to block changes
       caused by addrconf/ndisc.
    */

This reverts to the pre-4.9 behaviour.

<title>seg6: fix SRH processing to comply with RFC8754</title>

<id>0cb7498f234e4e7d75187a8cae6c7c2053f2488a</id>
<content type='text'>
The Segment Routing Header (SRH) which defines the SRv6 dataplane is defined
in RFC8754.

RFC8754 (section 4.1) defines the SR source node behavior which encapsulates
packets into an outer IPv6 header and SRH. The SR source node encodes the
full list of Segments that defines the packet path in the SRH. Then, the
first segment from list of Segments is copied into the Destination address
of the outer IPv6 header and the packet is sent to the first hop in its path
towards the destination.

If the Segment list has only one segment, the SR source node can omit the SRH
as he only segment is added in the destination address.

RFC8754 (section 4.1.1) defines the Reduced SRH, when a source does not
require the entire SID list to be preserved in the SRH. A reduced SRH does
not contain the first segment of the related SR Policy (the first segment is
the one already in the DA of the IPv6 header), and the Last Entry field is
set to n-2, where n is the number of elements in the SR Policy.

RFC8754 (section 4.3.1.1) defines the SRH processing and the logic to
validate the SRH (S09, S10, S11) which works for both reduced and
non-reduced behaviors.

This patch updates seg6_validate_srh() to validate the SRH as per RFC8754.

<title>ipv6: Use global sernum for dst validation with nexthop objects</title>
<updated>2020-05-01T19:46:30+00:00</updated>

<id>8f34e53b60b337e559f1ea19e2780ff95ab2fa65</id>
<content type='text'>
Nik reported a bug with pcpu dst cache when nexthop objects are
used illustrated by the following:
    $ ip netns add foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set lo up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:11::1/128 dev lo
    $ ip netns exec foo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    $ ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
    $ ip li set veth1 up
    $ ip addr add 2001:db8:10::1/64 dev veth1
    $ ip li set dev veth2 netns foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set veth2 up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:10::2/64 dev veth2
    $ ip -6 nexthop add id 100 via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Create a pcpu entry on cpu 0:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1

    Re-add the route entry:
    $ ip -6 ro del 2001:db8:11::1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Route get on cpu 0 returns the stale pcpu:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

    While cpu 1 works:
    $ taskset -a -c 1 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    2001:db8:11::1 from :: via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1 src 2001:db8:10::1 metric 1024 pref medium

Conversion of FIB entries to work with external nexthop objects
missed an important difference between IPv4 and IPv6 - how dst
entries are invalidated when the FIB changes. IPv4 has a per-network
namespace generation id (rt_genid) that is bumped on changes to the FIB.
Checking if a dst_entry is still valid means comparing rt_genid in the
rtable to the current value of rt_genid for the namespace.

IPv6 also has a per network namespace counter, fib6_sernum, but the
count is saved per fib6_node. With the per-node counter only dst_entries
based on fib entries under the node are invalidated when changes are
made to the routes - limiting the scope of invalidations. IPv6 uses a
reference in the rt6_info, 'from', to track the corresponding fib entry
used to create the dst_entry. When validating a dst_entry, the 'from'
is used to backtrack to the fib6_node and check the sernum of it to the
cookie passed to the dst_check operation.

With the inline format (nexthop definition inline with the fib6_info),
dst_entries cached in the fib6_nh have a 1:1 correlation between fib
entries, nexthop data and dst_entries. With external nexthops, IPv6
looks more like IPv4 which means multiple fib entries across disparate
fib6_nodes can all reference the same fib6_nh. That means validation
of dst_entries based on external nexthops needs to use the IPv4 format
- the per-network namespace counter.

Add sernum to rt6_info and set it when creating a pcpu dst entry. Update
rt6_get_cookie to return sernum if it is set and update dst_check for
IPv6 to look for sernum set and based the check on it if so. Finally,
rt6_get_pcpu_route needs to validate the cached entry before returning
a pcpu entry (similar to the rt_cache_valid calls in __mkroute_input and
__mkroute_output for IPv4).

This problem only affects routes using the new, external nexthops.

Thanks to the kbuild test robot for catching the IS_ENABLED needed
around rt_genid_ipv6 before I sent this out.

Commit b6f6118901d1 ("ipv6: restrict IPV6_ADDRFORM operation") fixed a
problem found by syzbot an unfortunate logic error meant that it
also broke IPV6_ADDRFORM.

Rearrange the checks so that the earlier test is just one of the series
of checks made before moving the socket from IPv6 to IPv4.

<title>ipv6: rpl: fix full address compression</title>

<id>62e697767fac598518bc687d3e0dafdd7c2f09f5</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch makes it impossible that cmpri or cmpre values are set to the
value 16 which is not possible, because these are 4 bit values. We
currently run in an overflow when assigning the value 16 to it.

According to the standard a value of 16 can be interpreted as a full
elided address which isn't possible to set as compression value. A reason
why this cannot be set is that the current ipv6 header destination address
should never show up inside the segments of the rpl header. In this case we
run in a overflow and the address will have no compression at all. Means
cmpri or compre is set to 0.

As we handle cmpri and cmpre sometimes as unsigned char or 4 bit value
inside the rpl header the current behaviour ends in an invalid header
format. This patch simple use the best compression method if we ever run
into the case that the destination address is showed up inside the rpl
segments. We avoid the overflow handling and the rpl header is still valid,
even when we have the destination address inside the rpl segments.

This patch makes it impossible that cmpri or cmpre values are set to the
value 16 which is not possible, because these are 4 bit values. We
currently run in an overflow when assigning the value 16 to it.

According to the standard a value of 16 can be interpreted as a full
elided address which isn't possible to set as compression value. A reason
why this cannot be set is that the current ipv6 header destination address
should never show up inside the segments of the rpl header. In this case we
run in a overflow and the address will have no compression at all. Means
cmpri or compre is set to 0.

As we handle cmpri and cmpre sometimes as unsigned char or 4 bit value
inside the rpl header the current behaviour ends in an invalid header
format. This patch simple use the best compression method if we ever run
into the case that the destination address is showed up inside the rpl
segments. We avoid the overflow handling and the rpl header is still valid,
even when we have the destination address inside the rpl segments.

The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value.  The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

<title>net: icmp6: do not select saddr from iif when route has prefsrc set</title>

Since commit fac6fce9bdb5 ("net: icmp6: provide input address for
traceroute6") ICMPv6 errors have source addresses from the ingress
interface. However, this overrides when source address selection is
influenced by setting preferred source addresses on routes.

This can result in ICMP errors being lost to upstream BCP38 filters
when the wrong source addresses are used, breaking path MTU discovery
and traceroute.

This patch sets the modified source address selection to only take place
when the route used has no prefsrc set.

It can be tested with:

ip link add v1 type veth peer name v2
ip netns add test
ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
ip link set v2 netns test
ip link set v1 up
ip netns exec test ip link set v2 up
ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev v1 nodad

<title>ipv6: rpl: fix loop iteration</title>

This patch fix the loop iteration by not walking over the last
iteration. The cmpri compressing value exempt the last segment. As the
code shows the last iteration will be overwritten by cmpre value
handling which is for the last segment.

I think this doesn't end in any bufferoverflows because we work on worst
case temporary buffer sizes but it ends in not best compression settings
in some cases.
