net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error

2013-11-29T21:12:52Z

If kmsg->msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you had audit configured. If you didn't have audit configured it was harmless. There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too large of a buffer and returning an error code breaks them. We should clamp the ->msg_namelen value instead.

net: add BUG_ON if kernel advertises msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)

2013-11-21T02:52:30Z

In that case it is probable that kernel code overwrote part of the stack. So we should bail out loudly here. The BUG_ON may be removed in future if we are sure all protocols are conformant. Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-11-21T02:52:30Z

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()

2013-10-03T20:05:14Z

We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr(). It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to exploit this bug. The call tree is: ___sys_recvmsg() move_addr_to_user() audit_sockaddr() __audit_sockaddr() Reported-by: Jüri Aedla Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

kernel-wide: fix missing validations on get/put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()

2013-09-11T22:58:18Z

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

aio: Kill aio_rw_vect_retry()

2013-07-30T15:53:12Z

This code doesn't serve any purpose anymore, since the aio retry infrastructure has been removed. This change should be safe because aio_read/write are also used for synchronous IO, and called from do_sync_read()/do_sync_write() - and there's no looping done in the sync case (the read and write syscalls).
