dcbnl: fix various netlink info leaks

2013-03-20T20:05:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 29cd8ae0e1a39e239a3a7b67da1986add1199fc0 ] The dcb netlink interface leaks stack memory in various places: * perm_addr[] buffer is only filled at max with 12 of the 32 bytes but copied completely, * no in-kernel driver fills all fields of an IEEE 802.1Qaz subcommand, so we're leaking up to 58 bytes for ieee_ets structs, up to 136 bytes for ieee_pfc structs, etc., * the same is true for CEE -- no in-kernel driver fills the whole struct, Prevent all of the above stack info leaks by properly initializing the buffers/structures involved.

rtnl: fix info leak on RTM_GETLINK request for VF devices

2013-03-20T20:05:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 84d73cd3fb142bf1298a8c13fd4ca50fd2432372 ] Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland via the netlink interface. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bridging: fix rx_handlers return code

2013-03-20T20:05:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3bc1b1add7a8484cc4a261c3e128dbe1528ce01f ] The frames for which rx_handlers return RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED are no longer counted as dropped. They are counted as successfully received by 'netif_receive_skb'. This allows network interface drivers to correctly update their RX-OK and RX-DRP counters based on the result of 'netif_receive_skb'.

netlabel: correctly list all the static label mappings

2013-03-20T20:05:01+00:00

[ Upstream commits 0c1233aba1e948c37f6dc7620cb7c253fcd71ce9 and a6a8fe950e1b8596bb06f2c89c3a1a4bf2011ba9 ] When we have a large number of static label mappings that spill across the netlink message boundary we fail to properly save our state in the netlink_callback struct which causes us to repeat the same listings. This patch fixes this problem by saving the state correctly between calls to the NetLabel static label netlink "dumpit" routines. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Signed-off-by: David S.

macvlan: Set IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to prevent unnecessary promisc mode.

tcp: fix double-counted receiver RTT when leaving receiver fast path
