      perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race · 416bd4a3
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      commit 321027c1 upstream.

Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open()
calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group
into a hardware context.

The problem is exactly that described in commit:

  f63a8daa ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking")

... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx
relation can have changed under us.

That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
established locking rules correctly.

So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).

Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

      ping: implement proper locking · b7f47c79
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      commit 43a66845 upstream.

We got a report of yet another bug in ping

http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/03/24/6

->disconnect() is not called with socket lock held.

Fix this by acquiring ping rwlock earlier.

Thanks to Daniel, Alexander and Andrey for letting us know this problem.

      staging/android/ion : fix a race condition in the ion driver · a7544fdd
      EunTaik Lee authored 
      commit 9590232b upstream.

There is a use-after-free problem in the ion driver.
This is caused by a race condition in the ion_ioctl()
function.

A handle has ref count of 1 and two tasks on different
cpus calls ION_IOC_FREE simultaneously.

cpu 0                                   cpu 1
-------------------------------------------------------
ion_handle_get_by_id()
(ref == 2)
                            ion_handle_get_by_id()
                            (ref == 3)

ion_free()
(ref == 2)

ion_handle_put()
(ref == 1)

                            ion_free()
                            (ref == 0 so ion_handle_destroy() is
                            called
                            and the handle is freed.)

                            ion_handle_put() is called and it
                            decreases the slub's next free pointer

The problem is detected as an unaligned access in the
spin lock functions since it uses load exclusive
 instruction. In some cases it corrupts the slub's
free pointer which causes a mis-aligned access to the
next free pointer.(kmalloc returns a pointer like
ffffc0745b4580aa). And it causes lots of other
hard-to-debug problems.

This symptom is caused since the first member in the
ion_handle structure is the reference count and the
ion driver decrements the reference after it has been
freed.

To fix this problem client->lock mutex is extended
to protect all the codes that uses the handle.

      vfio/pci: Fix integer overflows, bitmask check · d23ef85b
      Vlad Tsyrklevich authored 
      commit 05692d70 upstream.

The VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl did not sufficiently sanitize
user-supplied integers, potentially allowing memory corruption. This
patch adds appropriate integer overflow checks, checks the range bounds
for VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE, and also verifies that only single element
in the VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_TYPE_MASK bitmask is set.
VFIO_IRQ_SET_ACTION_TYPE_MASK is already correctly checked later in
vfio_pci_set_irqs_ioctl().

Furthermore, a kzalloc is changed to a kcalloc because the use of a
kzalloc with an integer multiplication allowed an integer overflow
condition to be reached without this patch. kcalloc checks for overflow
and should prevent a similar occurrence.

      tipc: check minimum bearer MTU · 65d30f75
      Michal Kubeček authored 
      commit 3de81b75 upstream.

Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to
insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for
even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace,
this issue can be abused by a regular user.

As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should
check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each
processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is
adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid
overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

      netfilter: nfnetlink: correctly validate length of batch messages · 9540baad
      Phil Turnbull authored 
      commit c58d6c93 upstream.

If nlh->nlmsg_len is zero then an infinite loop is triggered because
'skb_pull(skb, msglen);' pulls zero bytes.

The calculation in nlmsg_len() underflows if 'nlh->nlmsg_len <
NLMSG_HDRLEN' which bypasses the length validation and will later
trigger an out-of-bound read.

If the length validation does fail then the malformed batch message is
copied back to userspace. However, we cannot do this because the
nlh->nlmsg_len can be invalid. This leads to an out-of-bounds read in
netlink_ack:

      mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts · c50fd34e
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      commit d2921684 upstream.

CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.

    mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
    mount --make-rshared /
    for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done

Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
as some people have managed to hit this by accident.

As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.

Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
as follows:

> The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
> the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
> problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less
> than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that
> have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common
> case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've
> not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries.
>
> The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large
> number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat
> more active mounts.

So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
namespace at 100,000.  This is more than enough for any use case I
know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
in mounts.  Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
malfunctioning programs.

For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

      tipc: fix socket timer deadlock · 59e0cd11
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      commit f1d048f2 upstream.

We sometimes observe a 'deadly embrace' type deadlock occurring
between mutually connected sockets on the same node. This happens
when the one-hour peer supervision timers happen to expire
simultaneously in both sockets.

The scenario is as follows:

CPU 1:                          CPU 2:
--------                        --------
tipc_sk_timeout(sk1)            tipc_sk_timeout(sk2)
  lock(sk1.slock)                 lock(sk2.slock)
  msg_create(probe)               msg_create(probe)
  unlock(sk1.slock)               unlock(sk2.slock)
  tipc_node_xmit_skb()            tipc_node_xmit_skb()
    tipc_node_xmit()                tipc_node_xmit()
      tipc_sk_rcv(sk2)                tipc_sk_rcv(sk1)
        lock(sk2.slock)                 lock((sk1.slock)
        filter_rcv()                    filter_rcv()
          tipc_sk_proto_rcv()             tipc_sk_proto_rcv()
            msg_create(probe_rsp)           msg_create(probe_rsp)
            tipc_sk_respond()               tipc_sk_respond()
              tipc_node_xmit_skb()            tipc_node_xmit_skb()
                tipc_node_xmit()                tipc_node_xmit()
                  tipc_sk_rcv(sk1)                tipc_sk_rcv(sk2)
                    lock((sk1.slock)                lock((sk2.slock)
                    ===> DEADLOCK                   ===> DEADLOCK

Further analysis reveals that there are three different locations in the
socket code where tipc_sk_respond() is called within the context of the
socket lock, with ensuing risk of similar deadlocks.

We now solve this by passing a buffer queue along with all upcalls where
sk_lock.slock may potentially be held. Response or rejected message
buffers are accumulated into this queue instead of being sent out
directly, and only sent once we know we are safely outside the slock
context.
