2012-09-17Merge branch 'depends/tty-omap-serial' into next/cleanupOlof Johansson
This part of the tty tree (unfortunately with all the preceding patches as well) is a dependency for some of the OMAP cleanups, so we've pulled it in as a dependency based on agreement with Greg. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
2012-09-06Fix order of arguments to compat_put_time[spec|val]Mikulas Patocka
Commit 644595f89620 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.

2012-08-31netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable eventsPablo Neira Ayuso
Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

2012-08-30net: ipv4: ipmr_expire_timer causes crash when removing net namespaceFrancesco Ruggeri
When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in run_timer_softirq. This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6. Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate. We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic. The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other race conditions to be created. Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive. Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

2012-08-24netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processesPablo Neira Ayuso
Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-08-23ipv4: properly update pmtuEric Dumazet
Sylvain Munault reported following info : - TCP connection get "stuck" with data in send queue when doing "large" transfers ( like typing 'ps ax' on a ssh connection ) - Only happens on path where the PMTU is lower than the MTU of the interface - Is not present right after boot, it only appears 10-20min after boot or so. (and that's inside the _same_ TCP connection, it works fine at first and then in the same ssh session, it'll get stuck) - Definitely seems related to fragments somehow since I see a router sending ICMP message saying fragmentation is needed. - Exact same setup works fine with kernel 3.5.1 Problem happens when the 10 minutes (ip_rt_mtu_expires) expiration period is over. ip_rt_update_pmtu() calls dst_set_expires() to rearm a new expiration, but dst_set_expires() does nothing because dst.expires is already set. It seems we want to set the expires field to a new value, regardless of prior one. With help from Julian Anastasov.

2012-08-21libceph: avoid truncation due to racing bannersJim Schutt
Because the Ceph client messenger uses a non-blocking connect, it is possible for the sending of the client banner to race with the arrival of the banner sent by the peer. When ceph_sock_state_change() notices the connect has completed, it schedules work to process the socket via con_work(). During this time the peer is writing its banner, and arrival of the peer banner races with con_work(). If con_work() calls try_read() before the peer banner arrives, there is nothing for it to do, after which con_work() calls try_write() to send the client's banner. In this case Ceph's protocol negotiation can complete succesfully. The server-side messenger immediately sends its banner and addresses after accepting a connect request, *before* actually attempting to read or verify the banner from the client. As a result, it is possible for the banner from the server to arrive before con_work() calls try_read(). If that happens, try_read() will read the banner and prepare protocol negotiation info via prepare_write_connect(). prepare_write_connect() calls con_out_kvec_reset(), which discards the as-yet-unsent client banner. Next, con_work() calls try_write(), which sends the protocol negotiation info rather than the banner that the peer is expecting. The result is that the peer sees an invalid banner, and the client reports "negotiation failed". Fix this by moving con_out_kvec_reset() out of prepare_write_connect() to its callers at all locations except the one where the banner might still need to be sent.

2012-08-21af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]Eric Dumazet
Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

2012-08-21ipv4: Use newinet->inet_opt in inet_csk_route_child_sock()Christoph Paasch
Since 0e734419923bd ("ipv4: Use inet_csk_route_child_sock() in DCCP and TCP."), inet_csk_route_child_sock() is called instead of inet_csk_route_req(). However, after creating the child-sock in tcp/dccp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), ireq->opt is set to NULL, before calling inet_csk_route_child_sock(). Thus, inside inet_csk_route_child_sock() opt is always NULL and the SRR-options are not respected anymore. Packets sent by the server won't have the correct destination-IP. This patch fixes it by accessing newinet->inet_opt instead of ireq->opt inside inet_csk_route_child_sock().

2012-08-20svcrpc: fix svc_xprt_enqueue/svc_recv busy-loopingJ. Bruce Fields
The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply before it receives a request. It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket. Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not space, it then subtracts the estimate back out. This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is space after all. The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing server threads to loop without doing any actual work.

svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply. However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look to the client like further read data.

2012-08-20svcrpc: fix BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pagesJ. Bruce Fields
Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data). svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen. This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY. However, that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY. Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error. Symptoms were a BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages.

2012-08-20af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout groupEric Leblond
If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account.

We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the netowrk of other virtual machines. To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror it, and only drop the redirected packets.

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.

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.
