2007-10-18[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKedIlpo Järvinen
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

2007-10-18[NET]: Zero length write() on socket should not simply return 0.David S. Miller
This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731 It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the socket is connected, for one. The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length check should be removed entirely. This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems. Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially what application folks code to.

2007-10-06[IPSEC] AH4: Update IPv4 options handling to conform to RFC 4302.Nick Bowler
In testing our ESP/AH offload hardware, I discovered an issue with how AH handles mutable fields in IPv4. RFC 4302 (AH) states the following on the subject: For IPv4, the entire option is viewed as a unit; so even though the type and length fields within most options are immutable in transit, if an option is classified as mutable, the entire option is zeroed for ICV computation purposes. The current implementation does not zero the type and length fields, resulting in authentication failures when communicating with hosts that do (i.e. FreeBSD). I have tested record route and timestamp options (ping -R and ping -T) on a small network involving Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux hosts, with one router. In the presence of these options, the FreeBSD and Linux hosts (with the patch or with the hardware) can communicate. The Windows XP host simply fails to accept these packets with or without the patch. I have also been trying to test source routing options (using traceroute -g), but haven't had much luck getting this option to work *without* AH, let alone with.

2007-09-24TCP: Fix TCP handling of SACK in bidirectional flowsIlpo Järvinen
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast recovery (is_dupack would be false there too). I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like 'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless, I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-) Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-22[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw socketsDmitry Butskoy
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747 Problem Description: It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected. There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses. Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is looked up usual way, it is something like: sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif); where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end). But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr" ... Steps to reproduce: Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach. Set IPV6_RECVERR . Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN). You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the socket do not receive it. If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual checks for local/remote addresses).

2007-07-22[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP errorYasuyuki Kozakai
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes the address to be mangled. To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled in this case. Spotted by Jordan Russell.

2007-07-22[NET]: "wrong timeout value" in sk_wait_data() v2Vasily Averin
sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket structure. In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like "schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value". Proposed patch: - checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong - do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs ratelimited information message about such attempts.

2007-05-23[TCP]: zero out rx_opt in tcp_disconnect()Srinivas Aji
When the server drops its connection, NFS client reconnects using the same socket after disconnecting. If the new connection's SYN,ACK doesn't contain the TCP timestamp option and the old connection's did, tp->tcp_header_len is recomputed assuming no timestamp header but tp->rx_opt.tstamp_ok remains set. Then tcp_build_and_update_options() adds in a timestamp option past the end of the allocated TCP header, overwriting TCP data, or when the data is in skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[], overwriting skb_shinfo(skb) causing a crash soon after. (The issue was debugged from such a crash.) Similarly, wscale_ok and sack_ok also get set based on the SYN,ACK packet but not reset on disconnect, since they are zeroed out at initialization. The patch zeroes out the entire tp->rx_opt struct in tcp_disconnect() to avoid this sort of problem. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Aji <Aji_Srinivas@emc.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication.

2007-04-10APPLETALK: Fix a remotely triggerable crash (CVE-2007-1357)Jean Delvare
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says, we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch. This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim, effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg format: <Appletalk Killer> { # Ethernet header ----- XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC 00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC 00 1D # Length # LLC header ----- AA AA 03 08 00 07 80 9B # Appletalk # Appletalk header ----- 00 1B # Packet length (invalid) 00 01 # Fake checksum 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source networks 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source nodes and ports # Payload ----- 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 } The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim. The severity is mitigated by two requirements: * The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I suspect this isn't so frequent. * AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP. The bug has been reported back in June 2004: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979 But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both reporters had vanished meanwhile. This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2 And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels 2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are affected. Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the faulty frame from the network. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

2007-03-28[NET_SCHED]: cls_basic: fix NULL pointer dereferencePatrick McHardy
cls_basic doesn't allocate tp->root before it is linked into the active classifier list, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference when packets hit the classifier before its ->change function is called.

2007-03-28[NET_SCHED]: Fix endless loops caused by inaccurate qlen countersPatrick McHardy
There are multiple problems related to qlen adjustment that can lead to an upper qdisc getting out of sync with the real number of packets queued, leading to endless dequeueing attempts by the upper layer code. All qdiscs must maintain an accurate q.qlen counter. There are basically two groups of operations affecting the qlen: operations that propagate down the tree (enqueue, dequeue, requeue, drop, reset) beginning at the root qdisc and operations only affecting a subtree or single qdisc (change, graft, delete class). Since qlen changes during operations from the second group don't propagate to ancestor qdiscs, their qlen values become desynchronized. This patch adds a function to propagate qlen changes up the qdisc tree, optionally calling a callback function to perform qdisc-internal maintenance when the child qdisc is deactivated, and converts all qdiscs to use this where necessary.
