rtnetlink: Allow deleting FDB entries in user namespace

2025-10-29T13:07:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf29555f5bdc017bac22ca66fcb6c9f46ec8788f ] Creating FDB entries is possible from a non-initial user namespace when having CAP_NET_ADMIN, yet, when deleting FDB entries, processes receive an EPERM because the capability is always checked against the initial user namespace. This restricts the FDB management from unprivileged containers. Drop the netlink_capable check in rtnl_fdb_del as it was originally dropped in c5c351088ae7 and reintroduced in 1690be63a27b without intention. This patch was tested using a container on GyroidOS, where it was possible to delete FDB entries from an unprivileged user namespace and private network namespace.

rtnetlink: Add bulk registration helpers for rtnetlink message handlers.

[ Upstream commit 07cc7b0b942bf55ef1a471470ecda8d2a6a6541f ] Before commit addf9b90de22 ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers"), once rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol] was allocated, the following rtnl_register_module() for the same protocol never failed. However, after the commit, rtnl_msg_handler[protocol][msgtype] needs to be allocated in each rtnl_register_module(), so each call could fail. Many callers of rtnl_register_module() do not handle the returned error, and we need to add many error handlings. To handle that easily, let's add wrapper functions for bulk registration of rtnetlink message handlers.

rtnetlink: Correct nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute validation

[ Upstream commit 1aec77b2bb2ed1db0f5efc61c4c1ca3813307489 ] Each attribute inside a nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST is assumed to be a struct ifla_vf_vlan_info so the size of such attribute needs to be at least of sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) which is 14 bytes. The current size validation in do_setvfinfo is against NLA_HDRLEN (4 bytes) which is less than sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) so this validation is not enough and a too small attribute might be cast to a struct ifla_vf_vlan_info, this might result in an out of bands read access when accessing the saved (casted) entry in ivvl.

rtnetlink: fix error logic of IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS writing back

[ Upstream commit 743ad091fb46e622f1b690385bb15e3cd3daf874 ] In the commit d73ef2d69c0d ("rtnetlink: let rtnl_bridge_setlink checks IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE length"), an adjustment was made to the old loop logic in the function `rtnl_bridge_setlink` to enable the loop to also check the length of the IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute. However, this adjustment removed the `break` statement and led to an error logic of the flags writing back at the end of this function. if (have_flags) memcpy(nla_data(attr), &flags, sizeof(flags)); // attr should point to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS NLA !!! Before the mentioned commit, the `attr` is granted to be IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS. However, this is not necessarily true fow now as the updated loop will let the attr point to the last NLA, even an invalid NLA which could cause overflow writes. This patch introduces a new variable `br_flag` to save the NLA pointer that points to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS and uses it to resolve the mentioned error logic.
