regulatory: add NUL to alpha2

2014-10-05T20:41:06+00:00

commit a5fe8e7695dc3f547e955ad2b662e3e72969e506 upstream. alpha2 is defined as 2-chars array, but is used in multiple places as string (e.g. with nla_put_string calls), which might leak kernel data. Solve it by simply adding an extra char for the NULL terminator, making such operations safe. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ip_tunnel(ipv4): fix tunnels with "local any remote $remote_ip"

2014-08-14T02:09:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 95cb5745983c222867cc9ac593aebb2ad67d72c0 ] Ipv4 tunnels created with "local any remote $ip" didn't work properly since 7d442fab0 (ipv4: Cache dst in tunnels). 99% of packets sent via those tunnels had src addr = 0.0.0.0. That was because only dst_entry was cached, although fl4.saddr has to be cached too. Every time ip_tunnel_xmit used cached dst_entry (tunnel_rtable_get returned non-NULL), fl4.saddr was initialized with tnl_params->saddr (= 0 in our case), and wasn't changed until iptunnel_xmit(). This patch adds saddr to ip_tunnel->dst_cache, fixing this issue. Reported-by: Sergey Popov Signed-off-by: Dmitry Popov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ip: make IP identifiers less predictable

2014-07-29T01:46:34+00:00

In "Counting Packets Sent Between Arbitrary Internet Hosts", Jeffrey and Jedidiah describe ways exploiting linux IP identifier generation to infer whether two machines are exchanging packets. With commit 73f156a6e8c1 ("inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count"), we changed IP id generation, but this does not really prevent this side-channel technique. This patch adds a random amount of perturbation so that IP identifiers for a given destination [1] are no longer monotonically increasing after an idle period. Note that prandom_u32_max(1) returns 0, so if generator is used at most once per jiffy, this patch inserts no hole in the ID suite and do not increase collision probability. This is jiffies based, so in the worst case (HZ=1000), the id can rollover after ~65 seconds of idle time, which should be fine. We also change the hash used in __ip_select_ident() to not only hash on daddr, but also saddr and protocol, so that ICMP probes can not be used to infer information for other protocols. For IPv6, adds saddr into the hash as well, but not nexthdr. If I ping the patched target, we can see ID are now hard to predict. 21:57:11.008086 IP (...)

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/nf_tables fixes The following patchset contains nf_tables fixes, they are: 1) Fix wrong transaction handling when the table flags are not modified. 2) Fix missing rcu read_lock section in the netlink dump path, which is not protected by the nfnl_lock. 3) Set NLM_F_DUMP_INTR in the netlink dump path to indicate interferences with updates. 4) Fix 64 bits chain counters when they are retrieved from a 32 bits arch, from Eric Dumazet. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

neigh: sysctl - simplify address calculation of gc_* variables

2014-07-14T21:32:51+00:00

The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though, expresses this in the most ugly way. Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly. Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Brad Spengler Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_tables: 64bit stats need some extra synchronization

2014-07-14T10:00:17+00:00

Use generic u64_stats_sync infrastructure to get proper 64bit stats, even on 32bit arches, at no extra cost for 64bit arches. Without this fix, 32bit arches can have some wrong counters at the time the carry is propagated into upper word. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: nf_tables: set NLM_F_DUMP_INTR if netlink dumping is stale

2014-07-14T10:00:16+00:00

An updater may interfer with the dumping of any of the object lists. Fix this by using a per-net generation counter and use the nl_dump_check_consistent() interface so the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag is set to notify userspace that it has to restart the dump since an updater has interfered. This patch also replaces the existing consistency checking code in the rule dumping path since it is broken. Basically, the value that the dump callback returns is not propagated to userspace via netlink_dump_start(). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

ipv4: irq safe sk_dst_[re]set() and ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() fix

2014-07-01T06:40:58+00:00

We have two different ways to handle changes to sk->sk_dst First way (used by TCP) assumes socket lock is owned by caller, and use no extra lock : __sk_dst_set() & __sk_dst_reset() Another way (used by UDP) uses sk_dst_lock because socket lock is not always taken. Note that sk_dst_lock is not softirq safe. These ways are not inter changeable for a given socket type. ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), added in linux-3.8, added a race, as it used the socket lock as synchronization, but users might be UDP sockets. Instead of converting sk_dst_lock to a softirq safe version, use xchg() as we did for sk_rx_dst in commit e47eb5dfb296b ("udp: ipv4: do not use sk_dst_lock from softirq context") In a follow up patch, we probably can remove sk_dst_lock, as it is only used in IPv6.
