2014-12-18netlink: Don't reorder loads/stores before marking mmap netlink frame as ↵Thomas Graf
available Each mmap Netlink frame contains a status field which indicates whether the frame is unused, reserved, contains data or needs to be skipped. Both loads and stores may not be reordeded and must complete before the status field is changed and another CPU might pick up the frame for use. Use an smp_mb() to cover needs of both types of callers to netlink_set_status(), callers which have been reading data frame from the frame, and callers which have been filling or releasing and thus writing to the frame. - Example code path requiring a smp_rmb(): memcpy(skb->data, (void *)hdr + NL_MMAP_HDRLEN, hdr->nm_len); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED); - Example code path requiring a smp_wmb(): hdr->nm_uid = from_kuid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.uid); hdr->nm_gid = from_kgid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.gid); netlink_frame_flush_dcache(hdr); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID); Fixes: f9c228 ("netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg()") Reported-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-12-10netlink: use jhash as hashfn for rhashtableDaniel Borkmann
For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing discipline, but rather jhash() instead. Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64. While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines, if legitimate.

2014-11-13rhashtable: Drop gfp_flags arg in insert/remove functionsThomas Graf
Reallocation is only required for shrinking and expanding and both rely on a mutex for synchronization and callers of rhashtable_init() are in non atomic context. Therefore, no reason to continue passing allocation hints through the API.

2014-10-09fix misuses of f_count() in ppp and netlinkAl Viro
we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to wherever we are. That was race-prone (somebody else might have had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(), it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table is shared. The same change allowed a race-free check, though - we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2. It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one). OTOH, netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1. The bug existed well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old location of file. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2014-08-03netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash tableThomas Graf
Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

2014-07-09netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().Ben Pfaff
netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error. Until now, netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk->sk_err, but that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values. (This manifests as userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call, falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()). Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround posted here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

2014-06-02netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinationsEric W. Biederman
It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-04-11net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect.

2013-12-31netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmonDaniel Borkmann
In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector, fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-12-31netlink: only do not deliver to tap when both sides are kernel sksDaniel Borkmann
We should also deliver packets to nlmon devices when we are in netlink_unicast_kernel(), and only one of the {src,dst} sockets is user sk and the other one kernel sk. That's e.g. the case in netlink diag, netlink route, etc. Still, forbid to deliver messages from kernel to kernel sks.

2013-11-28genetlink/pmcraid: use proper genetlink multicast APIJohannes Berg
The pmcraid driver is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make it use the correct API, but since this may already be used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions. My previous patch broke event delivery in the driver as I missed that it wasn't using the right API and forgot to update it later in my series. While changing this, I noticed that the genetlink code could use the static group ID instead of a strcmp(), so also do that for the VFS_DQUOT family.

2013-11-28genetlink: Fix uninitialized variable in genl_validate_assign_mc_groups()Geert Uytterhoeven
net/netlink/genetlink.c: In function ‘genl_validate_assign_mc_groups’: net/netlink/genetlink.c:217: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function Commit 2a94fe48f32ccf7321450a2cc07f2b724a444e5b ("genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse") split genl_register_mc_group() in multiple functions, but dropped the initialization of err. Initialize err to zero to fix this. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-21genetlink: fix genlmsg_multicast() bugJohannes Berg
Unfortunately, I introduced a tremendously stupid bug into genlmsg_multicast() when doing all those multicast group changes: it adjusts the group number, but then passes it to genlmsg_multicast_netns() which does that again. Somehow, my tests failed to catch this, so add a warning into genlmsg_multicast_netns() and remove the offending group ID adjustment. Also add a warning to the similar code in other functions so people who misuse them are more loudly warned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-21net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa
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.

2013-11-19genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.
