net: filter: fix possible memory leak in __sk_prepare_filter()

2014-06-03T00:49:45Z

__sk_prepare_filter() was reworked in commit bd4cf0ed3 (net: filter: rework/optimize internal BPF interpreter's instruction set) so that it should have uncharged memory once things went wrong. However that work isn't complete. Error is handled only in __sk_migrate_filter() while memory can still leak in the error path right after sk_chk_filter().

tcp: fix cwnd undo on DSACK in F-RTO

2014-06-02T23:50:49Z

This bug is discovered by an recent F-RTO issue on tcpm list https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tcpm/current/msg08794.html The bug is that currently F-RTO does not use DSACK to undo cwnd in certain cases: upon receiving an ACK after the RTO retransmission in F-RTO, and the ACK has DSACK indicating the retransmission is spurious, the sender only calls tcp_try_undo_loss() if some never retransmisted data is sacked (FLAG_ORIG_DATA_SACKED). The correct behavior is to unconditionally call tcp_try_undo_loss so the DSACK information is used properly to undo the cwnd reduction.

netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinations

2014-06-02T23:34:09Z

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. Biederman Date: Wed Apr 23 14:28:03 2014 -0700 net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's probably worth backporting it and this patch. if that series is present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

net: fix inet_getid() and ipv6_select_ident() bugs

2014-06-02T21:09:28Z

I noticed we were sending wrong IPv4 ID in TCP flows when MTU discovery is disabled. Note how GSO/TSO packets do not have monotonically incrementing ID. 06:37:41.575531 IP (id 14227, proto: TCP (6), length: 4396) 06:37:41.575534 IP (id 14272, proto: TCP (6), length: 65212) 06:37:41.575544 IP (id 14312, proto: TCP (6), length: 57972) 06:37:41.575678 IP (id 14317, proto: TCP (6), length: 7292) 06:37:41.575683 IP (id 14361, proto: TCP (6), length: 63764) It appears I introduced this bug in linux-3.1. inet_getid() must return the old value of peer->ip_id_count, not the new one. Lets revert this part, and remove the prevention of a null identification field in IPv6 Fragment Extension Header, which is dubious and not even done properly.

bridge: Prevent insertion of FDB entry with disallowed vlan

2014-06-02T20:38:23Z

br_handle_local_finish() is allowing us to insert an FDB entry with disallowed vlan. For example, when port 1 and 2 are communicating in vlan 10, and even if vlan 10 is disallowed on port 3, port 3 can interfere with their communication by spoofed src mac address with vlan id 10. Note: Even if it is judged that a frame should not be learned, it should not be dropped because it is destined for not forwarding layer but higher layer. See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.10.

bridge: notify user space after fdb update

2014-06-02T05:14:50Z

There has been a number incidents recently where customers running KVM have reported that VM hosts on different Hypervisors are unreachable. Based on pcap traces we found that the bridge was broadcasting the ARP request out onto the network. However some NICs have an inbuilt switch which on occasions were broadcasting the VMs ARP request back through the physical NIC on the Hypervisor. This resulted in the bridge changing ports and incorrectly learning that the VMs mac address was external. As a result the ARP reply was directed back onto the external network and VM never updated it's ARP cache. This patch will notify the bridge command, after a fdb has been updated to identify such port toggling.

net: fix wrong mac_len calculation for vlans

2014-06-02T02:39:13Z

After 1e785f48d29a ("net: Start with correct mac_len in skb_network_protocol") skb->mac_len is used as a start of the calculation in skb_network_protocol() but that is not always correct. If skb->protocol == 8021Q/AD, usually the vlan header is already inserted in the skb (i.e. vlan reorder hdr == 0). Usually when the packet enters dev_hard_xmit it has mac_len == 0 so we take 2 bytes from the destination mac address (skb->data + VLAN_HLEN) as a type in skb_network_protocol() and return vlan_depth == 4. In the case where TSO is off, then the mac_len is set but it's == 18 (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN), so skb_network_protocol() returns a type from inside the packet and offset == 22. Also make vlan_depth unsigned as suggested before. As suggested by Eric Dumazet, move the while() loop in the if() so we can avoid additional testing in fast path. Here are few netperf tests + debug printk's to illustrate: cat netperf.tso-on.reorder-on.bugged - Vlan -> device (reorder on, default, this case is okay) MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.3.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 7111.54 [ 81.605435] skb->len 65226 skb->gso_size 1448 skb->proto 0x800 skb->mac_len 0 vlan_depth 0 type 0x800 - Vlan -> device (reorder off, bad) cat netperf.tso-on.reorder-off.bugged MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.3.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 241.35 [ 204.578332] skb->len 1518 skb->gso_size 0 skb->proto 0x8100 skb->mac_len 0 vlan_depth 4 type 0x5301 0x5301 are the last two bytes of the destination mac. And if we stop TSO, we may get even the following: [ 83.343156] skb->len 2966 skb->gso_size 1448 skb->proto 0x8100 skb->mac_len 18 vlan_depth 22 type 0xb84 Because mac_len already accounts for VLAN_HLEN.
