ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-29T08:31:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f60e5990d9c1424af9dbca60a23ba2a1c7c1ce90 ] We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Limit mtu to 65575 bytes

2014-05-31T20:20:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 30f78d8ebf7f514801e71b88a10c948275168518 ] Francois reported that setting big mtu on loopback device could prevent tcp sessions making progress. We do not support (yet ?) IPv6 Jumbograms and cook corrupted packets. We must limit the IPv6 MTU to (65535 + 40) bytes in theory. Tested: ifconfig lo mtu 70000 netperf -H ::1 Before patch : Throughput : 0.05 Mbits After patch : Throughput : 35484 Mbits Reported-by: Francois WELLENREITER Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

IPv6: add the option to use anycast addresses as source addresses in echo reply

2014-01-07T20:51:39+00:00

This change allows to follow a recommandation of RFC4942. - Add "anycast_src_echo_reply" sysctl to control the use of anycast addresses as source addresses for ICMPv6 echo reply. This sysctl is false by default to preserve existing behavior. - Add inline check ipv6_anycast_destination(). - Use them in icmpv6_echo_reply(). Reference: RFC4942 - IPv6 Transition/Coexistence Security Considerations (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4942#section-2.1.6) 2.1.6. Anycast Traffic Identification and Security [...] To avoid exposing knowledge about the internal structure of the network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the source address if possible.

ipv6: namespace cleanups

2014-01-02T04:46:09+00:00

Running 'make namespacecheck' shows: net/ipv6/route.o ipv6_route_table_template rt6_bind_peer net/ipv6/icmp.o icmpv6_route_lookup ipv6_icmp_table_template This addresses some of those warnings by: * make icmpv6_route_lookup static * move inline's out of ip6_route.h since only used into route.c * move rt6_bind_peer into route.c Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: support IPV6_PMTU_INTERFACE on sockets

2013-12-18T22:37:05+00:00

IPV6_PMTU_INTERFACE is the same as IPV6_PMTU_PROBE for ipv6. Add it nontheless for symmetry with IPv4 sockets. Also drop incoming MTU information if this mode is enabled. The additional bit in ipv6_pinfo just eats in the padding behind the bitfield. There are no changes to the layout of the struct at all. Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-10-21T22:37:01+00:00

Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly attached to skb for generated ICMP packets. The effect of this patch should be a faster version of rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as nexthop.

ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present

2013-10-21T22:37:00+00:00

In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2() such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used instead of an assigned neighbor. As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing compared to the destination address. Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway in rt6_nexthop(). Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is not wrongly diverted to the destination address. Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the problematic commit. Thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa for his review and help in testing.

ip*.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:38+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
