Mateusz Jurczyk dd0da17b20 decnet: dn_rtmsg: Improve input length sanitization in dnrmg_receive_user_skb
Verify that the length of the socket buffer is sufficient to cover the
nlmsghdr structure before accessing the nlh->nlmsg_len field for further
input sanitization. If the client only supplies 1-3 bytes of data in
sk_buff, then nlh->nlmsg_len remains partially uninitialized and
contains leftover memory from the corresponding kernel allocation.
Operating on such data may result in indeterminate evaluation of the
nlmsg_len < sizeof(*nlh) expression.

The bug was discovered by a runtime instrumentation designed to detect
use of uninitialized memory in the kernel. The patch prevents this and
other similar tools (e.g. KMSAN) from flagging this behavior in the future.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. A large bunch of code cleanups, simplify the conntrack extension
codebase, get rid of the fake conntrack object, speed up netns by
selective synchronize_net() calls. More specifically, they are:

1) Check for ct->status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and
   Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal.

2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao.

3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal.

4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function.

5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper,
   from Gao Feng.

6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng.

7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng.

8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with
   helpers, from Gao Feng.

9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the
   netlink message type.

10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal.

11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible,
    also from simran singhal.

12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal.

13) Remove unnecessary & on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS
    code.

14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables,
    no longer true. From Arushi Singhal.

15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng.

16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in
    __nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already
    guaranteed to run under RCU read side.

17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole.

18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(),
    also from Aaron.

19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole.

20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in
    __nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng.

21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks,
    from Gao Feng.

22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to
    annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal.

23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no
    conntrack template anymore, from Florian.

24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian.

25) Move nf_conn_help structure to
    include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h.

26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers.
    Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore.
    Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size.
    Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code
    got no more clients. From Florian Westphal.

27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now
    that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian.

28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack,
    this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian.

29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian.

30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker,
    from Gao Feng.

31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal.

32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook
    registration, from Florian Westphal.

33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some
    infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal.

34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the
    SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch
    from Gao Feng.

35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we
    don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of
    expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian.

36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(),
    from Florian.

37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from
    Florian.

38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper
    path, from Florian.

39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole.

40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from
    Florian Westphal.

41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper,
    from Florian.

42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no
    extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case. Patch from
    Liping Zhang.

Eric W. Biederman 90f62cf30a net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages
It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

Pablo Neira Ayuso a31f2d17b3 netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create
This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Denis V. Lunev cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

Eric W. Biederman b4b510290b [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

Andrew Morton 65b4b4e81a [NETFILTER]: Rename init functions.
Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and
`fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function.

Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes
ctags rather useless.

So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and
$(filename)_fini.

Herbert Xu 2a0a6ebee1 [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.
Let's recap the problem.  The current asynchronous netlink kernel
message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:

1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
before they're processed.  This may confuse/disable the next netlink
user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
receive the responses to the attacker's messages.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
c) Restrict/prohibit binding.

2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
long period of time.  If this is successfully exploited it could
also be used to hold rtnl forever.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.

Firstly let's cross off solution c).  It only solves the first
problem and it has user-visible impacts.  In particular, it'll
break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
with specific netlink addresses (pid's).

So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
SOCK_STREAM for netlink.

For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
my time working on other things.

However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
stream mode solution:

1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.

2) Inefficient use of resources.  This is especially true for rtnetlink
since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.

3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
netlink receive queue.  The attacker simply fills the receive socket
with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue.  The
attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.

Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
it is pretty messy.

In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
stream mode netlink at some point.  In the mean time, here is a patch
that implements synchronous processing.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
