af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present

2012-11-16T16:47:17Z

[ Upstream commit a3d744e995d2b936c500585ae39d99ee251c89b4 ] Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops in normal trafic condition: commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca Author: Eric Leblond Date: Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000 af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable branches. When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed. This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in this case.

l2tp: fix oops in l2tp_eth_create() error path

2012-11-16T16:47:17Z

[ Upstream commit 789336360e0a2aeb9750c16ab704a02cbe035e9e ] When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the 32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path. However, the l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the session teardown. This results in an oops. To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

net: fix divide by zero in tcp algorithm illinois

2012-11-16T16:47:16Z

[ Upstream commit 8f363b77ee4fbf7c3bbcf5ec2c5ca482d396d664 ] Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm can cause a divide by zero kernel oops. The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at: do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt); where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register tcp_illinois: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois 2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i" # watch -d ss -i 3. Establish new TCP conn to machine Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait for a loss or a reset. This is only related to reading stats. The function avg_delay() also performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its calling point in update_params(). Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info(). Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without socket lock. Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt by using a local stack variable. Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt, as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt. Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as its called with the socket lock.

tcp: fix FIONREAD/SIOCINQ

[ Upstream commit a3374c42aa5f7237e87ff3b0622018636b0c847e ] tcp_ioctl() tries to take into account if tcp socket received a FIN to report correct number bytes in receive queue. But its flaky because if the application ate the last skb, we return 1 instead of 0. Correct way to detect that FIN was received is to test SOCK_DONE.

netlink: use kfree_rcu() in netlink_release()

2012-11-16T16:47:15Z

[ Upstream commit 6d772ac5578f711d1ce7b03535d1c95bffb21dff ] On some suspend/resume operations involving wimax device, we have noticed some intermittent memory corruptions in netlink code. Stéphane Marchesin tracked this corruption in netlink_update_listeners() and suggested a patch. It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us.

mac80211: make sure data is accessible in EAPOL check

2012-11-16T16:46:58Z

commit 6dbda2d00d466225f9db1dc695ff852443f28832 upstream. The code to allow EAPOL frames even when the station isn't yet marked associated needs to check that the incoming frame is long enough and due to paged RX it also can't assume skb->data contains the right data, it must use skb_copy_bits(). Fix this to avoid using data that doesn't really exist. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-11-16T16:46:58Z

commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream. A number of places in the mesh code don't check that the frame data is present and in the skb header when trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data that doesn't actually exist. To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be able to use it in mac80211.
