sctp: dubious bitfields in sctp_transport

sctp: Fix a race between ICMP protocol unreachable and connect()

2010-05-06T07:56:07Z

ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded the fact that the user may have locked the socket. It proceeded to destroy the association, even though the user may have held the lock and had a ref on the association. This resulted in the following: Attempt to release alive inet socket f6afcc00 ========================= [ BUG: held lock freed! ] ------------------------- somenu/2672 is freeing memory f6afcc00-f6afcfff, with a lock still held there! (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [] sctp_connect+0x13/0x4c 1 lock held by somenu/2672: #0: (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [] sctp_connect+0x13/0x4c stack backtrace: Pid: 2672, comm: somenu Not tainted 2.6.32-telco #55 Call Trace: [] ? printk+0xf/0x11 [] debug_check_no_locks_freed+0xce/0xff [] kmem_cache_free+0x21/0x66 [] __sk_free+0x9d/0xab [] sk_free+0x1c/0x1e [] sctp_association_put+0x32/0x89 [] __sctp_connect+0x36d/0x3f4 [] ? sctp_connect+0x13/0x4c [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [] sctp_connect+0x31/0x4c [] inet_dgram_connect+0x4b/0x55 [] sys_connect+0x54/0x71 [] ? lock_release_non_nested+0x88/0x239 [] ? might_fault+0x42/0x7c [] ? might_fault+0x42/0x7c [] sys_socketcall+0x6d/0x178 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0xc/0x10 [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing the socket. The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification and be able to do the release properly.

sctp: Tag messages that can be Nagle delayed at creation.

2010-05-01T02:41:10Z

When we create the sctp_datamsg and fragment the user data, we know exactly if we are sending full segments or not and how they might be bundled. During this time, we can mark messages a Nagle capable or not. This makes the check at transmit time much simpler. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich

sctp: remove 'resent' bit from the chunk

2010-05-01T02:41:09Z

The 'resent' bit is used to make sure that we don't update rto estimate based on retransmitted chunks. However, we already have the 'rto_pending' bit that we test when need to update rto, so 'resent' bit is just extra. Additionally, we currently have a bug in that we always set a 'resent' bit and thus rto estimate is only updated by Heartbeats. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param: if (NULL == *errp) *errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk, ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length)); if (*errp) { sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length))); sctp_addto_chunk(*errp, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)), param.v); When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally, given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately, we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data. The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173 I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue. We move to a strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't have space to report.
