net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector (CVE-2008-5300)

2008-12-05T18:55:25+00:00

commit 5f23b734963ec7eaa3ebcd9050da0c9b7d143dd3 upstream.

This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201

It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().

Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector

2008-11-13T17:55:58+00:00

commit 6209344f5a3795d34b7f2c0061f49802283b6bdd upstream

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC.  This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.

This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called.  This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.

Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves.  Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().

2008-11-07T17:55:19+00:00

commit f8d570a4745835f2238a33b537218a1bb03fc671 and
3b53fbf4314594fa04544b02b2fc6e607912da18 upstream (because once wasn't
good enough...)

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list
pointed to by the scm_cookie argument.

Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again.

There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur.

The idea for how to fix this is from Linus.  Basically, we do all of
the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list
objects hit by an fput().  Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we
keep running the list until it is empty.

sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameter

2008-09-30T12:32:24+00:00

Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with
'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from
the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to
sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic.

   sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
     |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation()
        |-- sctp_make_abort_violation()

This patch fixed this problem. This patch also fix two place which called
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() with wrong paramter type.

9p: implement proper trans module refcounting and unregistration

2008-09-24T21:22:23+00:00

9p trans modules aren't refcounted nor were they unregistered
properly.  Fix it.

* Add 9p_trans_module->owner and reference the module on each trans
  instance creation and put it on destruction.

* Protect v9fs_trans_list with a spinlock.  This isn't strictly
  necessary as the list is manipulated only during module loading /
  unloading but it's a good idea to make the API safe.

* Unregister trans modules when the corresponding module is being
  unloaded.

* While at it, kill unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOL on p9_trans_fd_init().

   */
  static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining)

                 nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                 nla->nla_len <= remaining;
  }

It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in
nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test
against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the
nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.

A short example illustrating this point is here:

  #include 

  main(void)
  {
          printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int));
  }

...which prints "1".

This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make
a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the
patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

[Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL link

2008-09-09T05:19:20+00:00

The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict
authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job
to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the
acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing
any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for
the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an
insecure ACL link.

Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the
connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to
do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP).

The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the
integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases
where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on
an older specification.

[Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirements

2008-09-09T05:19:20+00:00

With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the
Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator
requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can
be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service
discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption
since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0
and before handle connections on PSM 1.

For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between
no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer
wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it
should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication
requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used,
but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding.

If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it
also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on
requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM
protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive
operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice
during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing
a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected
Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known
up-front and so enforce them.

To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended
with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside
the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any
time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in
the expected behavior.

netns : fix kernel panic in timewait socket destruction

2008-09-08T20:17:27+00:00

How to reproduce ?
 - create a network namespace
 - use tcp protocol and get timewait socket
 - exit the network namespace
 - after a moment (when the timewait socket is destroyed), the kernel
   panics.

This patch provides a function to purge all timewait sockets related
to a network namespace. The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with
the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while
the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to
receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is
freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets
from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer
on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead
to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to 
the namespace like for example in:
	inet_twdr_do_twkill_work
		-> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED);

Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will:
 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace
 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction
