commit 3b05ac3824ed9648c0d9c02d51d9b54e4e7e874f upstream.

The app_tcp_pkt_out() function expects "*diff" to be set and ends up
using uninitialized data if CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is turned on.

The same issue is there in app_tcp_pkt_in().  Thanks to Julian Anastasov
for noticing that.

commit 8ca3f5e974f2b4b7f711589f4abff920db36637a upstream.

Commit 5195c14c8b27c ("netfilter: conntrack: fix race in
__nf_conntrack_confirm against get_next_corpse") aimed to resolve the
race condition between the confirmation (packet path) and the flush
command (from control plane). However, it introduced a crash when
several packets race to add a new conntrack, which seems easier to
reproduce when nf_queue is in place.

Fix this race, in __nf_conntrack_confirm(), by removing the CT
from unconfirmed list before checking the DYING bit. In case
race occured, re-add the CT to the dying list

This patch also changes the verdict from NF_ACCEPT to NF_DROP when
we lose race. Basically, the confirmation happens for the first packet
that we see in a flow. If you just invoked conntrack -F once (which
should be the common case), then this is likely to be the first packet
of the flow (unless you already called flush anytime soon in the past).
This should be hard to trigger, but better drop this packet, otherwise
we leave things in inconsistent state since the destination will likely
reply to this packet, but it will find no conntrack, unless the origin
retransmits.

The change of the verdict has been discussed in:
https://www.marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&amp;m=141588039530056&amp;w=2

commit 62924af247e95de7041a6d6f2d06cdd05152e2dc upstream.

Relax the checking that was introduced in 97840cb ("netfilter:
nfnetlink: fix insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind") when the
subscription bitmask is used. Existing userspace code code may request
to listen to all of the existing netlink groups by setting an all to one
subscription group bitmask. Netlink already validates subscription via
setsockopt() for us.

commit a2f18db0c68fec96631c10cad9384c196e9008ac upstream.

Jumping between chains doesn't mix well with flush ruleset. Rules
from a different chain and set elements may still refer to us.

This reverts commit 5195c14c8b27cc0b18220ddbf0e5ad3328a04187.

If the conntrack clashes with an existing one, it is left out of
the unconfirmed list, thus, crashing when dropping the packet and
releasing the conntrack since golden rule is that conntracks are
always placed in any of the existing lists for traceability reasons.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: fix race in __nf_conntrack_confirm against get_next_corpse</title>

<content type='text'>
After removal of the central spinlock nf_conntrack_lock, in
commit 93bb0ceb75be2 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove central
spinlock nf_conntrack_lock"), it is possible to race against
get_next_corpse().

The race is against the get_next_corpse() cleanup on
the "unconfirmed" list (a per-cpu list with seperate locking),
which set the DYING bit.

Fix this race, in __nf_conntrack_confirm(), by removing the CT
from unconfirmed list before checking the DYING bit.  In case
race occured, re-add the CT to the dying list.

While at this, fix coding style of the comment that has been
updated.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: restore synchronous object release from commit/abort</title>

The existing xtables matches and targets, when used from nft_compat, may
sleep from the destroy path, ie. when removing rules. Since the objects
are released via call_rcu from softirq context, this results in lockdep
splats and possible lockups that may be hard to reproduce.

Patrick also indicated that delayed object release via call_rcu can
cause us problems in the ordering of event notifications when anonymous
sets are in place.

So, this patch restores the synchronous object release from the commit
and abort paths. This includes a call to synchronize_rcu() to make sure
that no packets are walking on the objects that are going to be
released. This is slowier though, but it's simple and it resolves the
aforementioned problems.

This is a partial revert of c7c32e7 ("netfilter: nf_tables: defer all
object release via rcu") that was introduced in 3.16 to speed up
interaction with userspace.

Instead of the match-&gt;name, which is of course not relevant.
