Bluetooth: Change signature of smp_conn_security()

2012-10-02T17:39:47Z

commit cc110922da7e902b62d18641a370fec01a9fa794 upstream. To make it clear that it may be called from contexts that may not have any knowledge of L2CAP, we change the connection parameter, to receive a hci_conn. This also makes it clear that it is checking the security of the link. Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes Signed-off-by: Gustavo Padovan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]

2012-10-02T17:38:55Z

[ Upstream commit e0e3cea46d31d23dc40df0a49a7a2c04fe8edfea ] Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs. With help from Florian Weimer & Petr Matousek This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3520 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Petr Matousek Cc: Florian Weimer Cc: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S.

codel: refine one condition to avoid a nul rec_inv_sqrt

2012-10-02T17:38:39Z

[ Upstream commit 2359a47671fc4fb0fe5e9945f76c2cb10792c0f8 ] One condition before codel_Newton_step() was not good if we never left the dropping state for a flow. As a result rec_inv_sqrt was 0, instead of the ~0 initial value. codel control law was then set to a very aggressive mode, dropping many packets before reaching 'target' and recovering from this problem. To keep codel_vars_init() as efficient as possible, refine the condition to make sure rec_inv_sqrt initial value is correct Many thanks to Anton Mich for discovering the issue and suggesting a fix.

sctp: be more restrictive in transport selection on bundled sacks

2012-07-01T05:44:35Z

It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport. While this isn't a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC 2960: An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK, etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying. This rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks together with the reply chunk. This patch seeks to correct that. It restricts the bundling of sack operations to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward since the last sack. By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack. This brings us into stricter compliance with the RFC. Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the transport that last moved the ctsn forward. While this makes sense, I was concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports. In those cases, the RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle the sack on. so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the last sack. This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to enable/disable it.
