netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().

2015-04-07T19:25:55Z

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that generated the frame. And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP. We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting. The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4 socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-06T20:12:49Z

We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: hash net ptr into fragmentation bucket selection

2015-03-25T18:07:04Z

As namespaces are sometimes used with overlapping ip address ranges, we should also use the namespace as input to the hash to select the ip fragmentation counter bucket. Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: Flavio Leitner Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Conflicts: drivers/net/vxlan.c drivers/vhost/net.c include/linux/if_vlan.h net/core/dev.c The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an existing function static whilst another was adding a new function. In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'. In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next' overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'. In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

ipv4: tcp: get rid of ugly unicast_sock

2015-02-02T07:06:19Z

In commit be9f4a44e7d41 ("ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock") I tried to address contention on a socket lock, but the solution I chose was horrible : commit 3a7c384ffd57e ("ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside of TCP stack") addressed a selinux regression. commit 0980e56e506b ("ipv4: tcp: set unicast_sock uc_ttl to -1") took care of another regression. commit b5ec8eeac46 ("ipv4: fix ip_send_skb()") fixed another regression. commit 811230cd85 ("tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate") was another shot in the dark. Really, just use a proper socket per cpu, and remove the skb_orphan() call, to re-enable flow control. This solves a serious problem with FQ packet scheduler when used in hostile environments, as we do not want to allocate a flow structure for every RST packet sent in response to a spoofed packet.

ipv4: try to cache dst_entries which would cause a redirect

2015-01-27T01:28:27Z

Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated since commit f88649721268999 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()"). Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which will force dst_release to free them via RCU. Unfortunately waiting for RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with >1M dst_entries waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot catch up under high softirq load. Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation and deallocation. This issue was discovered by Marcelo Leitner.

ip: Add offset parameter to ip_cmsg_recv

2015-01-06T03:44:46Z

Add ip_cmsg_recv_offset function which takes an offset argument that indicates the starting offset in skb where data is being received from. This will be useful in the case of UDP and provided checksum to user space. ip_cmsg_recv is an inline call to ip_cmsg_recv_offset with offset of zero.

ipv4: rename ip_options_echo to __ip_options_echo()

2014-09-28T20:35:42Z

ip_options_echo() assumes struct ip_options is provided in &IPCB(skb)->opt Lets break this assumption, but provide a helper to not change all call points. ip_send_unicast_reply() gets a new struct ip_options pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
