2018-11-20netlink: Don't shift on 64 for ngroupsDmitry Safonov1-2/+2
commit 91874ecf32e41b5d86a4cb9d60e0bee50d828058 upstream. It's legal to have 64 groups for netlink_sock. As user-supplied nladdr->nl_groups is __u32, it's possible to subscribe only to first 32 groups. The check for correctness of .bind() userspace supplied parameter is done by applying mask made from ngroups shift. Which broke Android as they have 64 groups and the shift for mask resulted in an overflow. Fixes: 61f4b23769f0 ("netlink: Don't shift with UB on nlk->ngroups") Cc: "David S.

commit cb9f7a9a5c96a773bbc9c70660dc600cfff82f82 upstream. Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed. However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have listeners. Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns. To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.

2017-04-05netlink: remove mmapped netlink supportFlorian Westphal4-792/+9
commit d1b4c689d4130bcfd3532680b64db562300716b6 upstream. mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues: - TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.") because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink attribute validation but before message processing. - RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet payload to userspace. However, since commit ae08ce0021087a5d812d2 ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper). The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket behave different from normal skbs: - they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo() (e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used. - reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as it expects message to start at skb->head. See for instance commit aa3a022094fa ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump"). - skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached. Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches"). mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper used by nfqueue and openvswitch. Daniel Borkmann fixed this via commit 6bb0fef489f6 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining length to the allocation function. nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink: - mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages. Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot, but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A since seqno is decided later. To fix this we would need to extend the spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which isn't desirable. - nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace. Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation in the kernel, so this is a desirable option. However, with a mmap based ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets. To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.

2017-02-23netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_dump()Eric Dumazet1-4/+3
commit d35c99ff77ecb2eb239731b799386f3b3637a31e upstream. Since linux-3.15, netlink_dump() can use up to 16384 bytes skb allocations. Due to struct skb_shared_info ~320 bytes overhead, we end up using order-3 (on x86) page allocations, that might trigger direct reclaim and add stress. The intent was really to attempt a large allocation but immediately fallback to a smaller one (order-1 on x86) in case of memory stress. On recent kernels (linux-4.4), we can remove __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to meet the goal. Old kernels would need to remove __GFP_WAIT While we are at it, since we do an order-3 allocation, allow to use all the allocated bytes instead of 16384 to reduce syscalls during large dumps. iproute2 already uses 32KB recvmsg() buffer sizes.

2015-10-28netlink: Trim skb to alloc size to avoid MSG_TRUNCArad, Ronen1-12/+22
commit db65a3aaf29ecce2e34271d52e8d2336b97bd9fe upstream. netlink_dump() allocates skb based on the calculated min_dump_alloc or a per socket max_recvmsg_len. min_alloc_size is maximum space required for any single netdev attributes as calculated by rtnl_calcit(). max_recvmsg_len tracks the user provided buffer to netlink_recvmsg. It is capped at 16KiB. The intention is to avoid small allocations and to minimize the number of calls required to obtain dump information for all net devices. netlink_dump packs as many small messages as could fit within an skb that was sized for the largest single netdev information. The actual space available within an skb is larger than what is requested. It could be much larger and up to near 2x with align to next power of 2 approach. Allowing netlink_dump to use all the space available within the allocated skb increases the buffer size a user has to provide to avoid truncaion (i.e. MSG_TRUNG flag set). It was observed that with many VLANs configured on at least one netdev, a larger buffer of near 64KiB was necessary to avoid "Message truncated" error in "ip link" or "bridge [-c[ompressvlans]] vlan show" when min_alloc_size was only little over 32KiB. This patch trims skb to allocated size in order to allow the user to avoid truncation with more reasonable buffer size. Signed-off-by: Ronen Arad <ronen.arad@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-30netlink, mmap: transform mmap skb into full skb on tapsDaniel Borkmann2-7/+32
commit 1853c949646005b5959c483becde86608f548f24 upstream. Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in __kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in __netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped. I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb->head is being set to NULL, so that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data() via skb_release_all(), where skb->head is possibly being freed through kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb->head points to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed, make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.

2015-09-30netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copyDaniel Borkmann1-6/+12
commit 6bb0fef489f667cf701853054f44579754f00a06 upstream. When netlink mmap on receive side is the consumer of nf queue data, it can happen that in some edge cases, we write skb shared info into the user space mmap buffer: Assume a possible rx ring frame size of only 4096, and the network skb, which is being zero-copied into the netlink skb, contains page frags with an overall skb->len larger than the linear part of the netlink skb. skb_zerocopy(), which is generic and thus not aware of the fact that shared info cannot be accessed for such skbs then tries to write and fill frags, thus leaking kernel data/pointers and in some corner cases possibly writing out of bounds of the mmap area (when filling the last slot in the ring buffer this way). I.e. the ring buffer slot is then of status NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, has an advertised length larger than 4096, where the linear part is visible at the slot beginning, and the leaked sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) has been written to the beginning of the next slot (also corrupting the struct nl_mmap_hdr slot header incl. status etc), since skb->end points to skb->data + ring->frame_size - NL_MMAP_HDRLEN. The fix adds and lets __netlink_alloc_skb() take the actual needed linear room for the network skb + meta data into account. It's completely irrelevant for non-mmaped netlink sockets, but in case mmap sockets are used, it can be decided whether the available skb_tailroom() is really large enough for the buffer, or whether it needs to internally fallback to a normal alloc_skb(). >From nf queue side, the information whether the destination port is an mmap RX ring is not really available without extra port-to-socket lookup, thus it can only be determined in lower layers i.e. when __netlink_alloc_skb() is called that checks internally for this. I chose to add the extra ldiff parameter as mmap will then still work: We have data_len and hlen in nfqnl_build_packet_message(), data_len is the full length (capped at queue->copy_range) for skb_zerocopy() and hlen some possible part of data_len that needs to be copied; the rem_len variable indicates the needed remaining linear mmap space. The only other workaround in nf queue internally would be after allocation time by f.e. cap'ing the data_len to the skb_tailroom() iff we deal with an mmap skb, but that would 1) expose the fact that we use a mmap skb to upper layers, and 2) trim the skb where we otherwise could just have moved the full skb into the normal receive queue. After the patch, in my test case the ring slot doesn't fit and therefore shows NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, where a full skb carries all the data and thus needs to be picked up via recv().

available commit a18e6a186f53af06937a2c268c72443336f4ab56 upstream. Each mmap Netlink frame contains a status field which indicates whether the frame is unused, reserved, contains data or needs to be skipped. Both loads and stores may not be reordeded and must complete before the status field is changed and another CPU might pick up the frame for use. Use an smp_mb() to cover needs of both types of callers to netlink_set_status(), callers which have been reading data frame from the frame, and callers which have been filling or releasing and thus writing to the frame. - Example code path requiring a smp_rmb(): memcpy(skb->data, (void *)hdr + NL_MMAP_HDRLEN, hdr->nm_len); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED); - Example code path requiring a smp_wmb(): hdr->nm_uid = from_kuid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.uid); hdr->nm_gid = from_kgid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.gid); netlink_frame_flush_dcache(hdr); netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID); Fixes: f9c228 ("netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg()") Reported-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 24dff96a37a2ca319e75a74d3929b2de22447ca6 upstream. we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to wherever we are. That was race-prone (somebody else might have had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(), it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table is shared. The same change allowed a race-free check, though - we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2. It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one). OTOH, netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1. The bug existed well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old location of file.

2014-07-10netlink: Fix handling of error from netlink_dump().Ben Pfaff1-2/+2
netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error. Until now, netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk->sk_err, but that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values. (This manifests as userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call, falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()). Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround posted here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

2014-06-03netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinationsEric W. Biederman1-1/+6
It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra. The offending series includes: commit aa4cf9452f469f16cea8c96283b641b4576d4a7b Author: Eric W.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-04-12net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller1-2/+2
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application. This patch adds an automatic learning of the size. First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB. This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe for legacy applications.

2013-12-31netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmonDaniel Borkmann1-0/+2
In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector, fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-29genetlink/pmcraid: use proper genetlink multicast APIJohannes Berg1-2/+9
The pmcraid driver is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make it use the correct API, but since this may already be used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions. My previous patch broke event delivery in the driver as I missed that it wasn't using the right API and forgot to update it later in my series. While changing this, I noticed that the genetlink code could use the static group ID instead of a strcmp(), so also do that for the VFS_DQUOT family.

2013-11-29genetlink: Fix uninitialized variable in genl_validate_assign_mc_groups()Geert Uytterhoeven1-1/+1
net/netlink/genetlink.c: In function ‘genl_validate_assign_mc_groups’: net/netlink/genetlink.c:217: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function Commit 2a94fe48f32ccf7321450a2cc07f2b724a444e5b ("genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse") split genl_register_mc_group() in multiple functions, but dropped the initialization of err. Initialize err to zero to fix this. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-21genetlink: fix genlmsg_multicast() bugJohannes Berg1-2/+2
Unfortunately, I introduced a tremendously stupid bug into genlmsg_multicast() when doing all those multicast group changes: it adjusts the group number, but then passes it to genlmsg_multicast_netns() which does that again. Somehow, my tests failed to catch this, so add a warning into genlmsg_multicast_netns() and remove the offending group ID adjustment. Also add a warning to the similar code in other functions so people who misuse them are more loudly warned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-21net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa1-2/+0
This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

2013-11-20genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg1-112/+166
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.
