Pable Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following five patches contain fixes for 3.6-rc, they are:

* Two fixes for message parsing in the SIP conntrack helper, from
  Patrick McHardy.

* One fix for the SIP helper introduced in the user-space cthelper
  infrastructure, from Patrick McHardy.

* fix missing appropriate locking while modifying one conntrack entry
  from the nfqueue integration code, from myself.

* fix possible access to uninitiliazed timer in the nf_conntrack
  expectation infrastructure, from myself.

<title>netfilter: nf_ct_expect: fix possible access to uninitialized timer</title>

In __nf_ct_expect_check, the function refresh_timer returns 1
if a matching expectation is found and its timer is successfully
refreshed. This results in nf_ct_expect_related returning 0.
Note that at this point:

- the passed expectation is not inserted in the expectation table
  and its timer was not initialized, since we have refreshed one
  matching/existing expectation.

- nf_ct_expect_alloc uses kmem_cache_alloc, so the expectation
  timer is in some undefined state just after the allocation,
  until it is appropriately initialized.

This can be a problem for the SIP helper during the expectation
addition:

 ...
 if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) == 0) {
         if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtcp_exp) != 0)
                 nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp);
 ...

Note that nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) may return 0 for the timer refresh
case that is detailed above. Then, if nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtcp_exp)
returns != 0, nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp) is called, which does:

 spin_lock_bh(&amp;nf_conntrack_lock);
 if (del_timer(&amp;exp-&gt;timeout)) {
         nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp);
         nf_ct_expect_put(exp);
 }
 spin_unlock_bh(&amp;nf_conntrack_lock);

Note that del_timer always returns false if the timer has been
initialized.  However, the timer was not initialized since setup_timer
was not called, therefore, the expectation timer remains in some
undefined state. If I'm not missing anything, this may lead to the
removal an unexistent expectation.

To fix this, the optimization that allows refreshing an expectation
is removed. Now nf_conntrack_expect_related looks more consistent
to me since it always add the expectation in case that it returns
success.

Thanks to Patrick McHardy for participating in the discussion of
this patch.

I think this may be the source of the problem described by:

If at least one of CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_TCP or CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_UDP is
not set, __ip_vs_get_timeouts() does not fully initialize the structure
that gets copied to userland and that for leaks up to 12 bytes of kernel
stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before passing the structure to
__ip_vs_get_timeouts() to avoid the info leak.

Since 9cb017665 netfilter: add glue code to integrate nfnetlink_queue and

change of the conntrack entry via nfnetlink_queue requires appropriate
locking to avoid concurrent updates.

<title>netfilter: nf_ct_sip: fix IPv6 address parsing</title>

Within SIP messages IPv6 addresses are enclosed in square brackets in most
cases, with the exception of the "received=" header parameter. Currently
the helper fails to parse enclosed addresses.

This patch:

- changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets
  when required, and accept them when not required but present, as
  recommended by RFC 5118.

- adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square
  brackets since SDP doesn't use them.

With these changes, the SIP helper correctly parses all test messages
from RFC 5118 (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Torture Test Messages
for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)).

Commit 3a8fc53a (netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allocate 16 bytes for the helper
and policy names) introduced a bug in the SIP helper, the helper name is
sprinted to the sip_names array instead of instead of into the helper
structure. This breaks the helper match and the /proc/net/nf_conntrack_expect
output.

This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.
