* net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller2014-04-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netlink: autosize skb lengthesEric Dumazet2014-03-102-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application. This patch adds an automatic learning of the size. First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB. This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe for legacy applications.

"to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | genetlink/pmcraid: use proper genetlink multicast APIJohannes Berg2013-11-281-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pmcraid driver is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make it use the correct API, but since this may already be used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions. My previous patch broke event delivery in the driver as I missed that it wasn't using the right API and forgot to update it later in my series. While changing this, I noticed that the genetlink code could use the static group ID instead of a strcmp(), so also do that for the VFS_DQUOT family.

* net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa2013-11-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg2013-11-191-112/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When dumping generic netlink families, only the first dump call is locked with genl_lock(), which protects the list of families, and thus subsequent calls can access the data without locking, racing against family addition/removal. This can cause a crash. Fix it - the locking needs to be conditional because the first time around it's already locked. A similar bug was reported to me on an old kernel (3.4.47) but the exact scenario that happened there is no longer possible, on those kernels the first round wasn't locked either. Looking at the current code I found the race described above, which had also existed on the old kernel.

The solution that I propose is to refine this checking to make it stricter: if ((nlh->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_DUMP) == NLM_F_DUMP) And given the combination NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL does not make sense to me, it removes the ambiguity. There was a patch that tried to fix this some time ago (0ab03c2 netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP composite) but it tried to resolve this ambiguity in *all* existing netlink subsystems, not only genetlink. That patch was reverted since it broke iproute2, which is using NLM_F_ROOT to request the dump of the routing cache. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Moreover, handle the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path. 2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path, moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling. I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found seems to be the fib frontend.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of net namespace, they can communicate with each other only when they in the same net namespace. this works well until we try to add namespace support for other subsystems which use netlink. Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to user namespace. So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets in same user namespace can communicate with each other. This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can communicate with each other through this netlink_table self-defined compare function. The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare function for netlink_table. Signed-off-by: Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Serge E.

* | netlink: allow large data transfers from user-spacePablo Neira Ayuso2013-06-071-2/+35
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that. While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy, we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach. However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is using vmalloc. This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.
