net_sched: restore "overhead xxx" handling

2013-06-03T05:22:35+00:00

commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "overhead xxx" handling, as well as the "linklayer atm"
attribute.

tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm overhead 10

This patch restores the "overhead xxx" handling, for htb, tbf
and act_police

The "linklayer atm" thing needs a separate fix.

xfrm: force a garbage collection after deleting a policy

2013-06-01T00:30:07+00:00

In some cases after deleting a policy from the SPD the policy would
remain in the dst/flow/route cache for an extended period of time
which caused problems for SELinux as its dynamic network access
controls key off of the number of XFRM policy and state entries.
This patch corrects this problem by forcing a XFRM garbage collection
whenever a policy is sucessfully removed.

netfilter: add nf_ipv6_ops hook to fix xt_addrtype with IPv6

2013-05-23T09:58:55+00:00

Quoting https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812:

[ ip6tables -m addrtype ]
When I tried to use in the nat/PREROUTING it messes up the
routing cache even if the rule didn't matched at all.
[..]
If I remove the --limit-iface-in from the non-working scenario, so just
use the -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL it works!

This happens when LOCAL type matching is requested with --limit-iface-in,
and the default ipv6 route is via the interface the packet we test
arrived on.

Because xt_addrtype uses ip6_route_output, the ipv6 routing implementation
creates an unwanted cached entry, and the packet won't make it to the
real/expected destination.

Silently ignoring --limit-iface-in makes the routing work but it breaks
rule matching (--dst-type LOCAL with limit-iface-in is supposed to only
match if the dst address is configured on the incoming interface;
without --limit-iface-in it will match if the address is reachable
via lo).

The test should call ipv6_chk_addr() instead.  However, this would add
a link-time dependency on ipv6.

There are two possible solutions:

1) Revert the commit that moved ipt_addrtype to xt_addrtype,
   and put ipv6 specific code into ip6t_addrtype.
2) add new "nf_ipv6_ops" struct to register pointers to ipv6 functions.

While the former might seem preferable, Pablo pointed out that there
are more xt modules with link-time dependeny issues regarding ipv6,
so lets go for 2).

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains three Netfilter fixes and update
for the MAINTAINER file for your net tree, they are:

* Fix crash if nf_log_packet is called from conntrack, in that case
  both interfaces are NULL, from Hans Schillstrom. This bug introduced
  with the logging netns support in the previous merge window.

* Fix compilation of nf_log and nf_queue without CONFIG_PROC_FS,
  from myself. This bug was introduced in the previous merge window
  with the new netns support for the netfilter logging infrastructure.

* Fix possible crash in xt_TCPOPTSTRIP due to missing sanity
  checkings to validate that the TCP header is well-formed, from
  myself. I can find this bug in 2.6.25, probably it's been there
  since the beginning. I'll pass this to -stable.

* Update MAINTAINER file to point to new nf trees at git.kernel.org,
  remove Harald and use M: instead of P: (now obsolete tag) to
  keep Jozsef in the list of people.

Please, consider pulling this. Thanks!

netfilter: log: netns NULL ptr bug when calling from conntrack

2013-05-15T12:11:07+00:00

Since (69b34fb netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support
for xt_LOG), we hit this:

[ 4224.708977] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000388
[ 4224.709074] IP: [] ipt_log_packet+0x29/0x270

when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.

Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field

2013-05-11T23:26:38+00:00

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

net: frag, fix race conditions in LRU list maintenance

2013-05-06T15:06:51+00:00

This patch fixes race between inet_frag_lru_move() and inet_frag_lru_add()
which was introduced in commit 3ef0eb0db4bf92c6d2510fe5c4dc51852746f206
("net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock")

One cpu already added new fragment queue into hash but not into LRU.
Other cpu found it in hash and tries to move it to the end of LRU.
This leads to NULL pointer dereference inside of list_move_tail().

Another possible race condition is between inet_frag_lru_move() and
inet_frag_lru_del(): move can happens after deletion.

This patch initializes LRU list head before adding fragment into hash and
inet_frag_lru_move() doesn't touches it if it's empty.

I saw this kernel oops two times in a couple of days.
