2012-08-16netfilter: nf_ct_expect: fix possible access to uninitialized timerPablo Neira Ayuso
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(&nf_conntrack_lock); if (del_timer(&exp->timeout)) { nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp); nf_ct_expect_put(exp); } spin_unlock_bh(&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: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=134073514719421&w=2 Reported-by: Rafal Fitt <rafalf@aplusc.com.pl> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2012-08-16net: fix info leak in compat dev_ifconf()Mathias Krause
The implementation of dev_ifconf() for the compat ioctl interface uses an intermediate ifc structure allocated in userland for the duration of the syscall. Though, it fails to initialize the padding bytes inserted for alignment and that for leaks four bytes of kernel stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.

2012-08-16llc: fix info leak via getsockname()Mathias Krause
The LLC code wrongly returns 0, i.e. "success", when the socket is zapped. Together with the uninitialized uaddrlen pointer argument from sys_getsockname this leads to an arbitrary memory leak of up to 128 bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall. Return an error instead when the socket is zapped to prevent the info leak. Also remove the unnecessary memset(0). We don't directly write to the memory pointed by uaddr but memcpy() a local structure at the end of the function that is properly initialized.

2012-08-14ipv4: Cache local output routesYan, Zheng
Commit caacf05e5ad1abf causes big drop of UDP loop back performance. The cause of the regression is that we do not cache the local output routes. Each time we send a datagram from unconnected UDP socket, the kernel allocates a dst_entry and adds it to the rt_uncached_list. It creates lock contention on the rt_uncached_lock.
