2007-04-17knfsd: use a spinlock to protect sk_info_authunixNeilBrown
sk_info_authunix is not being protected properly so the object that it points to can be cache_put twice, leading to corruption. We borrow svsk->sk_defer_lock to provide the protection. We should probably rename that lock to have a more generic name - later. Thanks to Gabriel for reporting this.

2007-04-17[BRIDGE]: Unaligned access when comparing ethernet addressesEvgeny Kravtsunov
compare_ether_addr() implicitly requires that the addresses passed are 2-bytes aligned in memory. This is not true for br_stp_change_bridge_id() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in which one of the addresses is unsigned char *, and thus may not be 2-bytes aligned.

2007-04-17[SCTP]: Unmap v4mapped addresses during SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR operation.Paolo Galtieri
During the sctp_bindx() call to add additional addresses to the endpoint, any v4mapped addresses are converted and stored as regular v4 addresses. However, when trying to remove these addresses, the v4mapped addresses are not converted and the operation fails. This patch unmaps the addresses on during the remove operation as well.

In current implementation, LKSCTP does receive buffer accounting for data in sctp_receive_queue and pd_lobby. However, LKSCTP don't do accounting for data in frag_list when data is fragmented. In addition, LKSCTP doesn't do accounting for data in reasm and lobby queue in structure sctp_ulpq. When there are date in these queue, assertion failed message is printed in inet_sock_destruct because sk_rmem_alloc of oldsk does not become 0 when socket is destroyed.

2007-04-17[NET]: Set a separate lockdep class for neighbour table's proxy_queuePavel Emelianov
Otherwise the following calltrace will lead to a wrong lockdep warning: neigh_proxy_process() `- lock(neigh_table->proxy_queue.lock); arp_redo /* via tbl->proxy_redo */ arp_process neigh_event_ns neigh_update skb_queue_purge `- lock(neighbor->arp_queue.lock); This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.

There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match(). The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs.

2007-04-13[VLAN]: Allow VLAN interface on top of bridge interfaceJerome Borsboom
When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these members do matter. Signed-off-by: Jerome Borsboom <j.borsboom@erasmusmc.nl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-04-09[TCP]: slow_start_after_idle should influence cwnd validation tooDavid S. Miller
For the cases that slow_start_after_idle are meant to deal with, it is almost a certainty that the congestion window tests will think the connection is application limited and we'll thus decrease the cwnd there too. This defeats the whole point of setting slow_start_after_idle to zero. So test it there too. We do not cancel out the entire tcp_cwnd_validate() function so that if the sysctl is changed we still have the validation state maintained. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.
