netlink: add nla be16/32 types to minlen array

The message in question matches this policy: [NFTA_TARGET_REV] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE32, 255), but because NLA_BE32 size in minlen array is 0, the validation code will read past the malformed (too small) attribute. Note: Other attributes, e.g. BITFIELD32, SINT, UINT.. are also missing: those likely should be added too.

string: Remove strlcpy()

2024-01-19T19:59:11+00:00

With all the users of strlcpy() removed[1] from the kernel, remove the API, self-tests, and other references. Leave mentions in Documentation (about its deprecation), and in checkpatch.pl (to help migrate host-only tools/ usage). Long live strscpy().

netlink: add variable-length / auto integers

2023-10-20T10:43:35+00:00

We currently push everyone to use padding to align 64b values in netlink. Un-padded nla_put_u64() doesn't even exist any more. The story behind this possibly start with this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20121204.130914.1457976839967676240.davem@davemloft.net/ where DaveM was concerned about the alignment of a structure containing 64b stats. If user space tries to access such struct directly: struct some_stats *stats = nla_data(attr); printf("A: %llu", stats->a); lack of alignment may become problematic for some architectures. These days we most often put every single member in a separate attribute, meaning that the code above would use a helper like nla_get_u64(), which can deal with alignment internally. Even for arches which don't have good unaligned access - access aligned to 4B should be pretty efficient. Kernel and well known libraries deal with unaligned input already. Padded 64b is quite space-inefficient (64b + pad means at worst 16B per attr vs 32b which takes 8B). It is also more typing: if (nla_put_u64_pad(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_PAD)) Create a new attribute type which will use 32 bits at netlink level if value is small enough (probably most of the time?), and (4B-aligned) 64 bits otherwise. Kernel API is just: if (nla_put_uint(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value)) Calling this new type "just" sint / uint with no specific size will hopefully also make people more comfortable with using it. Currently telling people "don't use u8, you may need the bits, and netlink will round up to 4B, anyway" is the #1 comment we give to newcomers. In terms of netlink layout it looks like this: 0 4 8 12 16 32b: [nlattr][ u32 ] 64b: [ pad ][nlattr][ u64 ] uint(32) [nlattr][ u32 ] uint(64) [nlattr][ u64 ] Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: allow be16 and be32 types in all uint policy checks

2023-07-27T11:45:51+00:00

__NLA_IS_BEINT_TYPE(tp) isn't useful. NLA_BE16/32 are identical to NLA_U16/32, the only difference is that it tells the netlink validation functions that byteorder conversion might be needed before comparing the value to the policy min/max ones. After this change all policy macros that can be used with UINT types, such as NLA_POLICY_MASK() can also be used with NLA_BE16/32. This will be used to validate nf_tables flag attributes which are in bigendian byte order. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal

netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets

2023-01-21T01:52:32+00:00

Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from __nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla() u16 type = nla_type(nla); if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) { /* error or continue */ } @type is then used as an array index and can be used as a Spectre v1 gadget. array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking content of kernel memory to malicious users. This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses, but an audit is needed to take care of others where validation is not yet centralized in core netlink functions.

netlink: introduce bigendian integer types

2022-11-02T04:29:06+00:00

Jakub reported that the addition of the "network_byte_order" member in struct nla_policy increases size of 32bit platforms. Instead of scraping the bit from elsewhere Johannes suggested to add explicit NLA_BE types instead, so do this here. NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE() macro is removed again, there is no need for it: NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE.., ..) will do the right thing. NLA_BE64 can be added later.

netlink: introduce NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE

2022-09-07T11:33:43+00:00

netlink allows to specify allowed ranges for integer types. Unfortunately, nfnetlink passes integers in big endian, so the existing NLA_POLICY_MAX() cannot be used. At the moment, nfnetlink users, such as nf_tables, need to resort to programmatic checking via helpers such as nft_parse_u32_check(). This is both cumbersome and error prone. This adds NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE which adds range check support for BE16, BE32 and BE64 integers. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
