TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

Fixes: 0655f6a8635b ("tipc: add bearer disable/enable to new netlink api")

<title>genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes</title>

<content type='text'>
We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.

One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.

To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

<title>tipc: add automatic rekeying for encryption key</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23700da29b83e859a8c3727fddd33ba74c4f3a39</id>
<content type='text'>
Rekeying is required for security since a key is less secure when using
for a long time. Also, key will be detached when its nonce value (or
seqno ...) is exhausted. We now make the rekeying process automatic and
configurable by user.

Basically, TIPC will at a specific interval generate a new key by using
the kernel 'Random Number Generator' cipher, then attach it as the node
TX key and securely distribute to others in the cluster as RX keys (-
the key exchange). The automatic key switching will then take over, and
make the new key active shortly. Afterwards, the traffic from this node
will be encrypted with the new session key. The same can happen in peer
nodes but not necessarily at the same time.

For simplicity, the automatically generated key will be initiated as a
per node key. It is not too hard to also support a cluster key rekeying
(e.g. a given node will generate a unique cluster key and update to the
others in the cluster...), but that doesn't bring much benefit, while a
per-node key is even more secure.

We also enable user to force a rekeying or change the rekeying interval
via netlink, the new 'set key' command option: 'TIPC_NLA_NODE_REKEYING'
is added for these purposes as follows:
- A value &gt;= 1 will be set as the rekeying interval (in minutes);
- A value of 0 will disable the rekeying;
- A value of 'TIPC_REKEYING_NOW' (~0) will force an immediate rekeying;

The default rekeying interval is (60 * 24) minutes i.e. done every day.
There isn't any restriction for the value but user shouldn't set it too
small or too large which results in an "ineffective" rekeying (thats ok
for testing though).

<title>tipc: introduce encryption master key</title>

<id>urn:sha1:daef1ee3798b25e8464b8eb618eaa74b8f423ac7</id>
<content type='text'>
In addition to the supported cluster &amp; per-node encryption keys for the
en/decryption of TIPC messages, we now introduce one option for user to
set a cluster key as 'master key', which is simply a symmetric key like
the former but has a longer life cycle. It has two purposes:

- Authentication of new member nodes in the cluster. New nodes, having
  no knowledge of current session keys in the cluster will still be
  able to join the cluster as long as they know the master key. This is
  because all neighbor discovery (LINK_CONFIG) messages must be
  encrypted with this key.

- Encryption of session encryption keys during automatic exchange and
  update of those.This is a feature we will introduce in a later commit
  in this series.

We insert the new key into the currently unused slot 0 in the key array
and start using it immediately once the user has set it.
After joining, a node only knowing the master key should be fully
communicable to existing nodes in the cluster, although those nodes may
have their own session keys activated (i.e. not the master one). To
support this, we define a 'grace period', starting from the time a node
itself reports having no RX keys, so the existing nodes will use the
master key for encryption instead. The grace period can be extended but
will automatically stop after e.g. 5 seconds without a new report. This
is also the basis for later key exchanging feature as the new node will
be impossible to decrypt anything without the support from master key.

For user to set a master key, we define a new netlink flag -
'TIPC_NLA_NODE_KEY_MASTER', so it can be added to the current 'set key'
netlink command to specify the setting key to be a master key.

Above all, the traditional cluster/per-node key mechanism is guaranteed
to work when user comes not to use this master key option. This is also
compatible to legacy nodes without the feature supported.

Even this master key can be updated without any interruption of cluster
connectivity but is so is needed, this has to be coordinated and set by
the user.

<title>tipc: add support for broadcast rcv stats dumping</title>

<id>urn:sha1:03b6fefd9bb4844c75faeb10df8496794e2fd5da</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
indicator.

The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
format: 'broadcast-link:&lt;peer-id&gt;'.

For example:

Link &lt;broadcast-link:1001002&gt;
  Window:50 packets
  RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
  TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
  RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
  TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
  Congestion link:0  Send queue max:0 avg:0

In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.

Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
now be retrieved simply via the 'l-&gt;name'.

<content type='text'>
To enable iproute2/tipc to generate backwards compatible
printouts and validate command parameters for nodes using a
&lt;z.c.n&gt; node address, it needs to be able to read the legacy
address flag from the kernel.  The legacy address flag records
the way in which the node identity was originally specified.

The legacy address flag is requested by the netlink message
TIPC_NL_ADDR_LEGACY_GET.  If the flag is set the attribute
TIPC_NLA_NET_ADDR_LEGACY is set in the return message.

<content type='text'>
This commit adds two netlink commands to TIPC in order for user to be
able to set or remove AEAD keys:
- TIPC_NL_KEY_SET
- TIPC_NL_KEY_FLUSH

When the 'KEY_SET' is given along with the key data, the key will be
initiated and attached to TIPC crypto. On the other hand, the
'KEY_FLUSH' command will remove all existing keys if any.
