af_unix: limit recursion level

2011-05-09T22:55:36Z

commit 25888e30319f8896fc656fc68643e6a078263060 upstream. Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others. lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8 This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a recursion limit. Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files), since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue sizes only. Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels. Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared when socket receive queue is emptied. Reported-by: Марк Коренберг Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

mac80211: Add define for TX headroom reserved by mac80211 itself.

2011-05-09T22:55:22Z

commit d24deb2580823ab0b8425790c6f5d18e2ff749d8 upstream. Add a definition of the amount of TX headroom reserved by mac80211 itself for its own purposes. Also add BUILD_BUG_ON to validate the value. This define can then be used by drivers to request additional TX headroom in the most efficient manner. Signed-off-by: Gertjan van Wingerde Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

sctp: Fix oops when sending queued ASCONF chunks

2011-03-07T23:17:55Z

commit c0786693404cffd80ca3cb6e75ee7b35186b2825 upstream. When we finish processing ASCONF_ACK chunk, we try to send the next queued ASCONF. This action runs the sctp state machine recursively and it's not prepared to do so. kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:790! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/module/ipv6/initstate Modules linked in: sha256_generic sctp libcrc32c ipv6 dm_multipath uinput 8139too i2c_piix4 8139cp mii i2c_core pcspkr virtio_net joydev floppy virtio_blk virtio_pci [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.34-rc4 #15 /Bochs EIP: 0060:[] EFLAGS: 00010286 CPU: 0 EIP is at add_timer+0xd/0x1b EAX: cecbab14 EBX: 000000f0 ECX: c0957b1c EDX: 03595cf4 ESI: cecba800 EDI: cf276f00 EBP: c0957aa0 ESP: c0957aa0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 Process swapper (pid: 0, ti=c0956000 task=c0988ba0 task.ti=c0956000) Stack: c0957ae0 d1851214 c0ab62e4 c0ab5f26 0500ffff 00000004 00000005 00000004 <0> 00000000 d18694fd 00000004 1666b892 cecba800 cecba800 c0957b14 00000004 <0> c0957b94 d1851b11 ceda8b00 cecba800 cf276f00 00000001 c0957b14 000000d0 Call Trace: [] ? sctp_side_effects+0x607/0xdfc [sctp] [] ? sctp_do_sm+0x108/0x159 [sctp] [] ? sctp_pname+0x0/0x1d [sctp] [] ? sctp_primitive_ASCONF+0x36/0x3b [sctp] [] ? sctp_process_asconf_ack+0x2a4/0x2d3 [sctp] [] ? sctp_sf_do_asconf_ack+0x1dd/0x2b4 [sctp] [] ? sctp_do_sm+0xb8/0x159 [sctp] [] ? sctp_cname+0x0/0x52 [sctp] [] ? sctp_assoc_bh_rcv+0xac/0xe1 [sctp] [] ? sctp_inq_push+0x2d/0x30 [sctp] [] ? sctp_rcv+0x797/0x82e [sctp] Tested-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: Yuansong Qiao Signed-off-by: Shuaijun Zhang Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp: Fix a race between ICMP protocol unreachable and connect()

2011-01-07T22:43:18Z

commit 50b5d6ad63821cea324a5a7a19854d4de1a0a819 upstream. ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded the fact that the user may have locked the socket. It proceeded to destroy the association, even though the user may have held the lock and had a ref on the association. This resulted in the following: Attempt to release alive inet socket f6afcc00 ========================= [ BUG: held lock freed! ] ------------------------- somenu/2672 is freeing memory f6afcc00-f6afcfff, with a lock still held there!

The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification and be able to do the release properly.

x25: Patch to fix bug 15678 - x25 accesses fields beyond end of packet.

commit f5eb917b861828da18dc28854308068c66d1449a upstream. Here is a patch to stop X.25 examining fields beyond the end of the packet.

tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.

2010-09-27T00:21:20Z

[ Upstream commit 01f83d69844d307be2aa6fea88b0e8fe5cbdb2f4 ] If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily. This causes problems with some embedded devices. However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things like fast retransmit and recovery to work. Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise we'll never send until the probe timer. Reported-by: ツ Leandro Melo de Sales Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-27T00:21:17Z

[ Upstream commit ad1af0fedba14f82b240a03fe20eb9b2fdbd0357 ] As reported by Anton Blanchard when we use percpu_counter_read_positive() to make our orphan socket limit checks, the check can be off by up to num_cpus_online() * batch (which is 32 by default) which on a 128 cpu machine can be as large as the default orphan limit itself. Fix this by doing the full expensive sum check if the optimized check triggers. Reported-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param: if (NULL == *errp) *errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk, ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length)); if (*errp) { sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length))); sctp_addto_chunk(*errp, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)), param.v); When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally, given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately, we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data. The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173 I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces

2010-02-23T15:37:53Z

commit d696c7bdaa55e2208e56c6f98e6bc1599f34286d upstream. As noticed by Jon Masters , the conntrack hash size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it. Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for now as other namespaces are not handled currently. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
