2007-04-05[IPSEC]: Reject packets within replay window but outside the bit maskHerbert Xu
Up until this point we've accepted replay window settings greater than 32 but our bit mask can only accomodate 32 packets. Thus any packet with a sequence number within the window but outside the bit mask would be accepted. This patch causes those packets to be rejected instead.

2007-04-04[APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crashJean Delvare
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says, we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch. This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim, effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg format: <Appletalk Killer> { # Ethernet header ----- XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC 00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC 00 1D # Length # LLC header ----- AA AA 03 08 00 07 80 9B # Appletalk # Appletalk header ----- 00 1B # Packet length (invalid) 00 01 # Fake checksum 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source networks 00 00 00 00 # Destination and source nodes and ports # Payload ----- 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 } The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim. The severity is mitigated by two requirements: * The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I suspect this isn't so frequent. * AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP. The bug has been reported back in June 2004: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979 But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both reporters had vanished meanwhile. This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2 And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels 2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are affected. Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the faulty frame from the network. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-04-04[PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.Eric W. Biederman
The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has implementation bugs that device_rename when called from dev_change_name will fail. The current error handling for errors from device_rename in dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable network device if device_rename is happens to return an error. This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust. Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device, modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq, msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus, numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor) Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it for a 2.6.21 timeframe. This patch which just ignores errors should be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

I have a bugreport that scrollwheel of bluetooth version of apple mightymouse doesn't work. The USB version of mightymouse works, as there is a quirk for handling scrollwheel in hid/usbhid for it. Now that bluetooth git tree is hooked to generic hid layer, it could easily use the quirks which are already present in generic hid parser, hid-input, etc. Below is a simple patch against bluetooth git tree, which adds quirk handling to current bluetooth hidp code, and sets quirk flags for device 0x05ac/0x030c, which is the bluetooth version of the apple mightymouse.

2007-03-25[IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.David S. Miller
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes reachable faster. Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all for two reasons: 1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with read lock held): walk routes finding head and tail spin_lock(); rotate list using head and tail spin_unlock(); While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting. 2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the lock in that way. So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking semantics. Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when the entry it is pointing to is removed. The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-03-25[NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling.Alexey Kuznetsov
->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with ->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev, neigh->parms etc. The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead != 0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup it. I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing. Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down. But it would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-03-25[NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakageThomas Graf
Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy. The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all" or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute, but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a validation error. Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the length of an address. Report an error if address length is non zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on availability of attribute.

2007-03-16[IPV4]: Do not disable preemption in trie_leaf_remove().Robert Olsson
Hello, Just discussed this Patrick... We have two users of trie_leaf_remove, fn_trie_flush and fn_trie_delete both are holding RTNL. So there shouldn't be need for this preempt stuff. This is assumed to a leftover from an older RCU-take. > Mhh .. I think I just remembered something - me incorrectly suggesting > to add it there while we were talking about this at OLS :) IIRC the > idea was to make sure tnode_free (which at that time didn't use > call_rcu) wouldn't free memory while still in use in a rcu read-side > critical section. It should have been synchronize_rcu of course, > but with tnode_free using call_rcu it seems to be completely > unnecessary. So I guess we can simply remove it.

2007-03-12[XFRM]: Fix missing protocol comparison of larval SAs.Joy Latten
I noticed that in xfrm_state_add we look for the larval SA in a few places without checking for protocol match. So when using both AH and ESP, whichever one gets added first, deletes the larval SA. It seems AH always gets added first and ESP is always the larval SA's protocol since the xfrm->tmpl has it first. Thus causing the additional km_query() Adding the check eliminates accidental double SA creation. Signed-off-by: Joy Latten <latten@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
