net: handle error more gracefully in socketpair()

2013-12-11T03:24:13+00:00

This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not
rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try
to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing
the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are
catched earlier and being easier to handle.

Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the
file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less
the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling
involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close().

This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual.
So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on
fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used
in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2).

Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling
fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will
implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket
structure.

====================
SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl

1. Add the SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl and update the timestamping
documentation.
2. Implement SIOCGHWTSTAMP in most drivers that support SIOCSHWTSTAMP.
3. Add a test program to exercise SIOC{G,S}HWTSTAMP.

net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error

2013-11-29T21:12:52+00:00

If kmsg->msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the
original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you
had audit configured.  If you didn't have audit configured it was
harmless.

There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too
large of a buffer and returning an error code breaks them.  We should
clamp the ->msg_namelen value instead.

net: add BUG_ON if kernel advertises msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)

2013-11-21T02:52:30+00:00

In that case it is probable that kernel code overwrote part of the
stack. So we should bail out loudly here.

The BUG_ON may be removed in future if we are sure all protocols are
conformant.

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-11-21T02:52:30+00:00

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
	msg->msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl to match SIOCSHWTSTAMP

2013-11-19T19:07:21+00:00

SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.

net/compat: Fix minor information leak in siocdevprivate_ioctl()

2013-11-18T23:50:12+00:00

We don't need to check that ifr_data itself is a valid user pointer,
but we should check &ifr_data is.  Thankfully the copy of ifr_name is
checked, so this can only leak a few bytes from immediately above the
user address limit.

net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()

2013-10-03T20:05:14+00:00

We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we
to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr().  It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to
exploit this bug.

The call tree is:
___sys_recvmsg()
  move_addr_to_user()
    audit_sockaddr()
      __audit_sockaddr()

 "First off, sorry for this pull request being late in the merge window.
  Al had raised a couple of concerns about 2 items in the series below.
  I addressed the first issue (the race introduced by Gu's use of
  mm_populate()), but he has not provided any further details on how he
  wants to rework the anon_inode.c changes (which were sent out months
  ago but have yet to be commented on).

  The bulk of the changes have been sitting in the -next tree for a few
  months, with all the issues raised being addressed"
