2010-12-09cfg80211: fix extension channel checks to initiate communicationLuis R. Rodriguez
commit 9236d838c920e90708570d9bbd7bb82d30a38130 upstream. When operating in a mode that initiates communication and using HT40 we should fail if we cannot use both primary and secondary channels to initiate communication. Our current ht40 allowmap only covers STA mode of operation, for beaconing modes we need a check on the fly as the mode of operation is dynamic and there other flags other than disable which we should read to check if we can initiate communication. Do not allow for initiating communication if our secondary HT40 channel has is either disabled, has a passive scan flag, a no-ibss flag or is a radar channel. Userspace now has similar checks but this is also needed in-kernel. Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2010-12-09rds: Integer overflow in RDS cmsg handlingDan Rosenberg
commit 218854af84038d828a32f061858b1902ed2beec6 upstream. In rds_cmsg_rdma_args(), the user-provided args->nr_local value is restricted to less than UINT_MAX. This seems to need a tighter upper bound, since the calculation of total iov_size can overflow, resulting in a small sock_kmalloc() allocation. This would probably just result in walking off the heap and crashing when calling rds_rdma_pages() with a high count value. If it somehow doesn't crash here, then memory corruption could occur soon after. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 5ef41308f94dcbb3b7afc56cdef1c2ba53fa5d2f upstream. Now with improved comma support. On parsing malformed X.25 facilities, decrementing the remaining length may cause it to underflow. Since the length is an unsigned integer, this will result in the loop continuing until the kernel crashes.

2010-12-09filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memoryDavid S. Miller
commit 57fe93b374a6b8711995c2d466c502af9f3a08bb upstream. There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by hostile user. Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is expensive since most filters dont even use this array. Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of the jumps. This might be done later. In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks. For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction.

2010-12-09vlan: Avoid hwaccel vlan packets when vid not used.Jesse Gross
[This patch applies only to 2.6.36 stable. The problem was introduced in that release and is already fixed by larger changes to the vlan code in 2.6.37.] Normally hardware accelerated vlan packets are quickly dropped if there is no corresponding vlan device configured. The one exception is promiscuous mode, where we allow all of these packets through so they can be picked up by tcpdump. However, this behavior causes a crash if we actually try to receive these packets. This fixes that crash by ignoring packets with vids not corresponding to a configured device in the vlan hwaccel routines and then dropping them before they get to consumers in the network stack.

2010-12-09net: Limit socket I/O iovec total length to INT_MAX.David S. Miller
commit 8acfe468b0384e834a303f08ebc4953d72fb690a upstream. This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers. Once we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec by setting the iov_len members to zero. This works because: 1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial writes are allowed and the application will just continue with another write to send the rest of the data. 2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger than the packet size limit the protocol is going to check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

2010-12-09mac80211: send last 3/5 probe requests as unicastLuis R. Rodriguez
commit f01a067d9e4598c71e3c9ee3a84859d2e8af4f8e upstream. Some buggy APs do not respond to unicast probe requests or send unicast probe requests very delayed so in the worst case we should try to send broadcast probe requests, otherwise we can get disconnected from these APs. Even if drivers do not have filters to disregard probe responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming connection monitoring. We need to do this since the beacon monitor does not push back the connection monitor by design so even if we are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection monitor currently relies heavily on the way the probe requests are received on the AP. An example of an AP affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been observed with random APs. We can probably optimize this later by using null funcs instead of probe requests.

2010-12-09mac80211: fix offchannel assumption upon associationLuis R. Rodriguez
commit 8d4780eb1ece4e8109b4f6b2e5e61f7fc593c3f4 upstream. Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation, we do this because we don't know we are associated until we get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the channel does not take into account any power constraints. For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.

commit e7480bbb926c5816e4fbfca70748096bbe0e4978 upstream. Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work. This prevents any possible races against channel changes while we run this work. In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong channel and in the worst case, wrong band. This could lead to trying to assuming we could use CCK frames on 5 GHz, for example. This patch has a fix for kernels >= v2.6.34 Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2010-12-09mac80211: fix possible null-pointer de-referenceChristian Lamparter
commit d12c74528e3065c90df70fbc06ec6ffd6e804738 upstream. This patch not only fixes a null-pointer de-reference that would be triggered by a PLINK_OPEN frame with mis- matching/incompatible mesh configuration, but also responds correctly to non-compatible PLINK_OPEN frames by generating a PLINK_CLOSE with the right reason code. The original bug was detected by smatch. ( http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git ) net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c +574 mesh_rx_plink_frame(168) error: we previously assumed 'sta' could be null.

2010-12-09mac80211: minstrel_ht A-MPDU fixBjörn Smedman
commit 15d46f38df87f89242e470f5797120fa384c1fc3 upstream. This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames: 1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag. 2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was ACKed or not.

2010-12-09cfg80211: fix regression on processing country IEsLuis R. Rodriguez
commit a171fba491f54216e356efa46096171a7ed01d10 upstream. The patch 4f366c5: wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included checking that we already had performed an intersection for the request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type. This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country IE country hint with the data received from CRDA.

2010-12-09cfg80211: fix BSS double-unlinkingJohannes Berg
commit 3207390a8b58bfc1335750f91cf6783c48ca19ca upstream. When multiple interfaces are actively trying to associate with the same BSS, they may both find that the BSS isn't there and then try to unlink it. This can cause errors since the unlinking code can't currently deal with items that have already been unlinked. Normally this doesn't happen as most people don't try to use multiple station interfaces that associate at the same time too. Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to see if the item is still on a list.

2010-10-15De-pessimize rds_page_copy_userLinus Torvalds
Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU. Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap() (unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides). But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there (and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there - you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case. People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't verify the user addresses properly.

2010-10-11net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actionsKees Cook
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions), the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace. Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

2010-10-06mac80211: delete AddBA response timerJohannes Berg
We never delete the addBA response timer, which is typically fine, but if the station it belongs to is deleted very quickly after starting the BA session, before the peer had a chance to reply, the timer may fire after the station struct has been freed already. Therefore, we need to delete the timer in a suitable spot -- best when the session is being stopped (which will happen even then) in which case the delete will be a no-op most of the time. I've reproduced the scenario and tested the fix.
