2011-03-20netfilter: xtables: fix reentrancyEric Dumazet
commit f3c5c1bfd4308 (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table() We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one. A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different hooks.

2011-03-15net_sched: fix ip_tos2prioDan Siemon
ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER (1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0) This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop probabilities. This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely used.

Structures ipt_replace, compat_ipt_replace, and xt_get_revision are copied from userspace. Fields of these structs that are zero-terminated strings are not checked. When they are used as argument to a format string containing "%s" in request_module(), some sensitive information is leaked to userspace via argument of spawned modprobe process. The first and the third bugs were introduced before the git epoch; the second was introduced in 2722971c (v2.6.17-rc1). To trigger the bug one should have CAP_NET_ADMIN.

2011-03-14tcp_cubic: fix low utilization of CUBIC with HyStartSangtae Ha
HyStart sets the initial exit point of slow start. Suppose that HyStart exits at 0.5BDP in a BDP network and no history exists. If the BDP of a network is large, CUBIC's initial cwnd growth may be too conservative to utilize the link. CUBIC increases the cwnd 20% per RTT in this case.

Jiffies wraps around therefore the correct way to compare is to use cast to signed value.

2011-03-14tcp: fix RTT for quick packets in congestion controlstephen hemminger
In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds. Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only need jiffie resolution. If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission) -1 is used as a flag value. When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart) will be confused. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-03-13ipv4: Fix PMTU update.Hiroaki SHIMODA
On current net-next-2.6, when Linux receives ICMP Type: 3, Code: 4 (Destination unreachable (Fragmentation needed)), icmp_unreach -> ip_rt_frag_needed (peer->pmtu_expires is set here) -> tcp_v4_err -> do_pmtu_discovery -> ip_rt_update_pmtu (peer->pmtu_expires is already set, so check_peer_pmtu is skipped.) -> check_peer_pmtu check_peer_pmtu is skipped and MTU is not updated. To fix this, let check_peer_pmtu execute unconditionally. And some minor fixes 1) Avoid potential peer->pmtu_expires set to be zero. 2) In check_peer_pmtu, argument of time_before is reversed. 3) check_peer_pmtu expects peer->pmtu_orig is initialized as zero, but not initialized.

2011-03-10net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modulesVasiliy Kulikov
Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't allow anybody load any module not related to networking. This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019. Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0". Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit. root@albatros:~# capsh --drop=$(seq -s, 0 11),$(seq -s, 13 34) -- root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: fffffff800001000 CapEff: fffffff800001000 CapBnd: fffffff800001000 root@albatros:~# modprobe xfs FATAL: Error inserting xfs (/lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-00001-g2bf4ca3/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko): Operation not permitted root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit root@albatros:~# ifconfig sit sit: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit root@albatros:~# ifconfig sit0 sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit sit 10457 0 tunnel4 2957 1 sit For CAP_SYS_MODULE module loading is still relaxed: root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: ffffffffffffffff CapEff: ffffffffffffffff CapBnd: ffffffffffffffff root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs xfs 745319 0 Reference: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/203 Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Acked-by: David S.

2011-03-09ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address.David S. Miller
In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where SIOCSIFDSTADDR sets the destination address on a point-to-point link, ifa_address gets set to that destination address. Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface address. There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly: 1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user 2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using ifa_address instead of ifa_local.

2011-03-07ipv4: Cache source address in nexthop entries.David S. Miller
When doing output route lookups, we have to select the source address if the user has not specified an explicit one. First, if the route has an explicit preferred source address specified, then we use that. Otherwise we search the route's outgoing interface for a suitable address. This search can be precomputed and cached at route insertion time. The only missing part is that we have to refresh this precomputed value any time addresses are added or removed from the interface, and this is accomplished by fib_update_nh_saddrs().
