commit da1b9a55ff116cb040528ef664c70a4eec03ae99 upstream.

Robert Morris reported:

|If a malicious USB device pretends to be an Intersil p54 wifi
|interface and generates an eeprom_readback message with a large
|eeprom-&gt;v1.len, p54_rx_eeprom_readback() will copy data from the
|message beyond the end of priv-&gt;eeprom.
|
|static void p54_rx_eeprom_readback(struct p54_common *priv,
|                                   struct sk_buff *skb)
|{
|        struct p54_hdr *hdr = (struct p54_hdr *) skb-&gt;data;
|        struct p54_eeprom_lm86 *eeprom = (struct p54_eeprom_lm86 *) hdr-&gt;data;
|
|        if (priv-&gt;fw_var &gt;= 0x509) {
|                memcpy(priv-&gt;eeprom, eeprom-&gt;v2.data,
|                       le16_to_cpu(eeprom-&gt;v2.len));
|        } else {
|                memcpy(priv-&gt;eeprom, eeprom-&gt;v1.data,
|                       le16_to_cpu(eeprom-&gt;v1.len));
|        }
| [...]

The eeprom-&gt;v{1,2}.len is set by the driver in p54_download_eeprom().
The device is supposed to provide the same length back to the driver.
But yes, it's possible (like shown in the report) to alter the value
to something that causes a crash/panic due to overrun.

This patch addresses the issue by adding the size to the common device
context, so p54_rx_eeprom_readback no longer relies on possibly tampered
values... That said, it also checks if the "firmware" altered the value
and no longer copies them.

The one, small saving grace is: Before the driver tries to read the eeprom,
it needs to upload &gt;a&lt; firmware. the vendor firmware has a proprietary
license and as a reason, it is not present on most distributions by
default.

The assignment of the value to the variable total in the loop
condition must be enclosed in additional parentheses, since otherwise,
in accordance with the precedence of the operators, the conjunction
will be performed first, and only then the assignment.

Due to this error, a warning later in the function after the loop may
not occur in the situation when it should.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

 - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
   stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
   back-pressure.

   Daniel reports ~10Gbps =&gt; ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

 - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
   space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
   declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
   (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
   commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
   of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

 - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
   bridge.

 - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

 - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
   packets of TCPv6.

 - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
   multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
   addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.

 - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
   deployments.

 - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.

 - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
   ISO 15765-2:2016.

 - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
   kernel problem.

 - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.

 - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
   objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
   notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
   converting to a blocking notifier.

 - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
   opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
   option use.

 - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
   life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.

 - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
   them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
   all the user space infra we have.

 - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.

 - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
   path'.

 - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.

 - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

 - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
   well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
   is for pretty printing structures).

 - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
   syscall.

 - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
   specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
   during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
   support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
   how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).

 - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
   counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.

 - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
   drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
   dpaa2-eth).

 - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
   Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
   support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.

 - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

 - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
   mscc_ocelot switches.

 - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
   fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
   dpaa-eth.

 - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
   offload.

 - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
   this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.

 - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
   7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.

 - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
   and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.

 - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
   recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
   descriptor entry.

 - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
   crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
   directory.

 - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
   subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.

 - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
   code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
   conversion is not yet complete).

<content type='text'>
in_interrupt() is ill defined and does not provide what the name
suggests. The usage especially in driver code is deprecated and a tree wide
effort to clean up and consolidate the (ab)usage of in_interrupt() and
related checks is happening.

hfa384x_cmd() and prism2_hw_reset() check in_interrupt() at function entry
and if true emit a printk at debug loglevel and return. This is clearly debug
code.

Both functions invoke functions which can sleep. These functions already
have appropriate debug checks which cover all invalid contexts, while
in_interrupt() fails to detect context which just has preemption or
interrupts disabled.

Remove both checks as they are incomplete, debug only and already covered
by the subsequently invoked functions properly. If called from invalid
context the resulting back trace is definitely more helpful to analyze the
problem than a printk at debug loglevel.
