Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for 3.10-rc3,
they are:

* fix xt_addrtype with IPv6, from Florian Westphal. This required
  a new hook for IPv6 functions in the netfilter core to avoid
  hard dependencies with the ipv6 subsystem when this match is
  only used for IPv4.

* fix connection reuse case in IPVS. Currently, if an reused
  connection are directed to the same server. If that server is
  down, those connection would fail. Therefore, clear the
  connection and choose a new server among the available ones.

* fix possible non-nul terminated string sent to user-space if
  ipt_ULOG is used as the default netfilter logging stub, from
  Chen Gang.

* fix mark logging of IPv6 packets in xt_LOG, from Michal Kubecek.
  This bug has been there since 2.6.26.

* Fix breakage ip_vs_sh due to incorrect structure layout for
  RCU, from Jan Beulich.

ipv4: fix redirect handling for TCP packets

2013-05-28T06:39:19+00:00

Unlike ipv4_redirect() and ipv4_sk_redirect(), ip_do_redirect()
doesn't call __build_flow_key() directly but via
ip_rt_build_flow_key() wrapper. This leads to __build_flow_key()
getting pointer to IPv4 header of the ICMP redirect packet
rather than pointer to the embedded IPv4 header of the packet
initiating the redirect.

As a result, handling of ICMP redirects initiated by TCP packets
is broken. Issue was introduced by

	4895c771c ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.")

ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach

2013-05-26T06:26:30+00:00

Daniel Petre reported crashes in icmp_dst_unreach() with following call
graph:

#3 [ffff88003fc03938] __stack_chk_fail at ffffffff81037f77
#4 [ffff88003fc03948] icmp_send at ffffffff814d5fec

#11 [ffff88003fc03c88] ip_finish_output at ffffffff814ab596

Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in
 http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html

And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP
stack.

We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure()
is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation
layer.

A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in
linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well.

Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !

tcp: xps: fix reordering issues

2013-05-24T01:29:20+00:00

commit 3853b5841c01a ("xps: Improvements in TX queue selection")
introduced ooo_okay flag, but the condition to set it is slightly wrong.

In our traces, we have seen ACK packets being received out of order,
and RST packets sent in response.

We should test if we have any packets still in host queue.

netfilter: ipt_ULOG: fix non-null terminated string in the nf_log path

2013-05-23T12:25:40+00:00

If nf_log uses ipt_ULOG as logging output, we can deliver non-null
terminated strings to user-space since the maximum length of the
prefix that is passed by nf_log is NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN but pm->prefix
is 32 bytes long (ULOG_PREFIX_LEN).

This is actually happening already from nf_conntrack_tcp if ipt_ULOG
is used, since it is passing strings longer than 32 bytes.

tcp: bug fix in proportional rate reduction.

2013-05-23T07:10:09+00:00

This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0
in tcp_ack(.).

The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked,
but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the
snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while
prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem
is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment)
adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other
reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in
(prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out).

This patch does the following:
1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to
capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment.
2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots
packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be
correctly computed as before.
3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes
newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.

tcp: gso: do not generate out of order packets

2013-05-16T21:43:40+00:00

GSO TCP handler has following issues :

1) ooo_okay from original GSO packet is duplicated to all segments
2) segments (but the last one) are orphaned, so transmit path can not
get transmit queue number from the socket. This happens if GSO
segmentation is done before stacked device for example.

Result is we can send packets from a given TCP flow to different TX
queues (if using multiqueue NICS). This generates OOO problems and
spurious SACK & retransmits.

Fix this by keeping socket pointer set for all segments.

This means that every segment must also have a destructor, and the
original gso skb truesize must be split on all segments, to keep
precise sk->sk_wmem_alloc accounting.

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.
