====================
pull-request: mac80211 2017-07-07

Just got a set of fixes in from Jouni/QCA, all netlink validation
fixes. I assume they ran some kind of checker, but I don't know what
kind :)

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

cfg80211: Validate frequencies nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES

2017-07-07T09:24:31+00:00

validate_scan_freqs() retrieves frequencies from attributes
nested in the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES with
nla_get_u32(), which reads 4 bytes from each attribute
without validating the size of data received. Attributes
nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES don't have an nla policy.

Validate size of each attribute before parsing to avoid potential buffer
overread.

cfg80211: Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE

2017-07-07T09:23:03+00:00

Buffer overread may happen as nl80211_set_station() reads 4 bytes
from the attribute NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE without
validating the size of data received when userspace sends less
than 4 bytes of data with NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE.
Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE to avoid
the buffer overread.

cfg80211: Check if NAN service ID is of expected size

2017-07-07T09:22:21+00:00

nla policy checks for only maximum length of the attribute data when the
attribute type is NLA_BINARY. If userspace sends less data than
specified, cfg80211 may access illegal memory. When type is NLA_UNSPEC,
nla policy check ensures that userspace sends minimum specified length
number of bytes.

Remove type assignment to NLA_BINARY from nla_policy of
NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID to make these NLA_UNSPEC and to make sure
minimum NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID_LEN bytes are received from
userspace with NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID.

cfg80211: Check if PMKID attribute is of expected size

2017-07-07T09:21:52+00:00

nla policy checks for only maximum length of the attribute data
when the attribute type is NLA_BINARY. If userspace sends less
data than specified, the wireless drivers may access illegal
memory. When type is NLA_UNSPEC, nla policy check ensures that
userspace sends minimum specified length number of bytes.

Remove type assignment to NLA_BINARY from nla_policy of
NL80211_ATTR_PMKID to make this NLA_UNSPEC and to make sure minimum
WLAN_PMKID_LEN bytes are received from userspace with
NL80211_ATTR_PMKID.

nl80211: Don't verify owner_nlportid on NAN commands

2017-06-30T06:44:17+00:00

If NAN interface is created with NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER, the socket
that is used to create the interface is used for all NAN operations and
reporting NAN events.
However, it turns out that sending commands and receiving events on
the same socket is not possible in a completely race-free way:
If the socket buffer is overflowed by the events, the command response
will not be sent. In that case the caller will block forever on recv.
Using non-blocking socket for commands is more complicated and still
the command response or ack may not be received.
So, keep unicasting NAN events to the interface creator, but allow
using a different socket for commands.

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext

2017-06-14T11:52:44+00:00

Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq,
but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that
then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they
pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the
struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes).

To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls
and copy only the smaller structure in this case.

This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced
into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195869

wireless: wext: use struct iwreq earlier in the call chain

2017-06-14T11:37:42+00:00

To make it clear that we never use struct ifreq, cast from it
directly in the wext entrypoint and use struct iwreq from there
on. The next patch will remove the cast again and pass the
correct struct from the beginning.
