* netlink: use kfree_rcu() in netlink_release()Eric Dumazet2012-10-181-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some suspend/resume operations involving wimax device, we have noticed some intermittent memory corruptions in netlink code. Stéphane Marchesin tracked this corruption in netlink_update_listeners() and suggested a patch. It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us.

* netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_startGao feng2012-10-071-8/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo. Change From v3: change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and Eric. Change From v2: delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump and netlink_sock_destruct.

* netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman2012-09-102-107/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

* netlink: kill netlink_set_nonrootPablo Neira Ayuso2012-09-092-17/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace netlink_set_nonroot by one new field `flags' in struct netlink_kernel_cfg that is passed to netlink_kernel_create. This patch also renames NL_NONROOT_* to NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_* since now the flags field in nl_table is generic (so we can add more flags if needed in the future). Also adjust all callers in the net-next tree to use these flags instead of netlink_set_nonroot. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* scm: Don't use struct ucred in NETLINK_CB and struct scm_cookie.Eric W. Biederman2012-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Passing uids and gids on NETLINK_CB from a process in one user namespace to a process in another user namespace can result in the wrong uid or gid being presented to userspace. Avoid that problem by passing kuids and kgids instead. - define struct scm_creds for use in scm_cookie and netlink_skb_parms that holds uid and gid information in kuid_t and kgid_t. - Modify scm_set_cred to fill out scm_creds by heand instead of using cred_to_ucred to fill out struct ucred. This conversion ensures userspace does not get incorrect uid or gid values to look at. - Modify scm_recv to convert from struct scm_creds to struct ucred before copying credential values to userspace. - Modify __scm_send to populate struct scm_creds on in the scm_cookie, instead of just copying struct ucred from userspace. - Modify netlink_sendmsg to copy scm_creds instead of struct ucred into the NETLINK_CB.

| * netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processesPablo Neira Ayuso2012-08-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * netlink: Make the sending netlink socket availabe in NETLINK_CBEric W. Biederman2012-08-151-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sending socket of an skb is already available by it's port id in the NETLINK_CB. If you want to know more like to examine the credentials on the sending socket you have to look up the sending socket by it's port id and all of the needed functions and data structures are static inside of af_netlink.c. So do the simple thing and pass the sending socket to the receivers in the NETLINK_CB. I intend to use this to get the user namespace of the sending socket in inet_diag so that I can report uids in the context of the process who opened the socket, the same way I report uids in the contect of the process who opens files.

* | af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]Eric Dumazet2012-08-211-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

* genetlink: Build a generic netlink family module aliasNeil Horman2012-05-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic netlink searches for -type- formatted aliases when requesting a module to fulfill a protocol request (i.e. net-pf-16-proto-16-type-<x>, where x is a type value). However generic netlink protocols have no well defined type numbers, they have string names. Modify genl_ctrl_getfamily to request an alias in the format net-pf-16-proto-16-family-<x> instead, where x is a generic string, and add a macro that builds on the previously added MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME macro to allow modules to specifify those generic strings. Note, l2tp previously hacked together an net-pf-16-proto-16-type-l2tp alias using the MODULE_ALIAS macro, with these updates we can convert that to use the PROTO_NAME macro.

Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that may handle lots of conntrack entries.

To achieve this, add a sequence counter to the netlink callback struct. Of course, netlink code still needs to use this new functionality. The correct way to do that is to always set cb->seq when a dumpit callback is invoked and call nl_dump_check_consistent() for each new message. The core code will also call this function for the final MSG_DONE message. To make it usable with generic netlink, a new function genlmsg_nlhdr() is needed to obtain the netlink header from the genetlink user header.

* | rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose2011-06-102-7/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

* net: convert %p usage to %pKDan Rosenberg2011-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)". The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

| * netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()Andrey Vagin2011-02-281-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error. It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever. netlink_dump() is called from two places: 1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start(). In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned by sendmsg(). 2. from netlink_recvmsg There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion. If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the next recvmsg will be failed. Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH, when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits being set. Because NLM_F_MATCH's value overlaps with NLM_F_EXCL, non-dump requests with NLM_F_EXCL set are mistaken as dump requests. Substitute the condition to test for _all_ bits being set.

* netlink: fix netlink_change_ngroups()Eric Dumazet2010-10-251-41/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 6c04bb18ddd633 (netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroups) used a somewhat convoluted and racy way to perform call_rcu(). The old block of memory is freed after a grace period, but the rcu_head used to track it is located in new block. This can clash if we call two times or more netlink_change_ngroups(), and a block is freed before another. call_rcu() called on different cpus makes no guarantee in order of callbacks. Fix this using a more standard way of handling this : Each block of memory contains its own rcu_head, so that no 'use after free' can happens.

This allows a family to handle such things in a more generic way, by allowing it to a) include private flags in each operation b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called, before an operation's doit() callback and may return an error directly, c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo locking or similar things done by pre_doit, and finally d) include two private pointers in each info struct passed between all these operations including doit().
