[ Upstream commit 3ba3458f ] When sending a UDPv6 message longer than MTU, account for the length of fragmentable IPv6 extension headers in skb->network_header offset. Same as we do in alloc_new_skb path in __ip6_append_data(). This ensures that later on __ip6_make_skb() will make space in headroom for fragmentable extension headers: /* move skb->data to ip header from ext header */ if (skb->data < skb_network_header(skb)) __skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb)); Prevents a splat due to skb_under_panic: skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff8143397b len:2126 put:14 \ head:ffff880005bacf50 data:ffff880005bacf4a tail:0x48 end:0xc0 dev:lo ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:104! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] KASAN CPU: 0 PID: 160 Comm: reproducer Not tainted 4.6.0-rc2 #65 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff813eb7b9>] skb_push+0x79/0x80 [<ffffffff8143397b>] eth_header+0x2b/0x100 [<ffffffff8141e0d0>] neigh_resolve_output+0x210/0x310 [<ffffffff814eab77>] ip6_finish_output2+0x4a7/0x7c0 [<ffffffff814efe3a>] ip6_output+0x16a/0x280 [<ffffffff815440c1>] ip6_local_out+0xb1/0xf0 [<ffffffff814f1115>] ip6_send_skb+0x45/0xd0 [<ffffffff81518836>] udp_v6_send_skb+0x246/0x5d0 [<ffffffff8151985e>] udpv6_sendmsg+0xa6e/0x1090 [...] Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 8e2ad411 ] The stack expects link layer headers in the skb linear section. Macvtap can create skbs with llheader in frags in edge cases: when (IFF_VNET_HDR is off or vnet_hdr.hdr_len < ETH_HLEN) and prepad + len > PAGE_SIZE and vnet_hdr.flags has no or bad csum. Add checks to ensure linear is always at least ETH_HLEN. At this point, len is already ensured to be >= ETH_HLEN. For backwards compatiblity, rounds up short vnet_hdr.hdr_len. This differs from tap and packet, which return an error. Fixes b9fb9ee0 ("macvtap: add GSO/csum offload support") Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2793a23a ] Netdevice parameter hard_header_len is variously interpreted both as an upper and lower bound on link layer header length. The field is used as upper bound when reserving room at allocation, as lower bound when validating user input in PF_PACKET. Clarify the definition to be maximum header length. For validation of untrusted headers, add an optional validate member to header_ops. Allow bypassing of validation by passing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, for instance for deliberate testing of corrupt input. In this case, pad trailing bytes, as some device drivers expect completely initialized headers. See also http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/401064Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 48906f62 ] Some devices will silently fail setup unless they are reset first. This is necessary even if the data interface is already in altsetting 0, which it will be when the device is probed for the first time. Briefly toggling the altsetting forces a function reset regardless of the initial state. This fixes a setup problem observed on a number of Huawei devices, appearing to operate in NTB-32 mode even if we explicitly set them to NTB-16 mode. Signed-off-by:

commit ff1cab37 upstream. The BSP team noticed that there is spin/mutex lock issue on sh-sci when CPUFREQ is used. The issue is that the notifier function may call mutex_lock() while the spinlock is held, which can lead to a BUG(). This may happen if CPUFREQ is changed while another CPU calls clk_get_rate(). Taking the spinlock was added to the notifier function in commit e552de24 ("sh-sci: add platform device private data"), to protect the list of serial ports against modification during traversal. At that time the Common Clock Framework didn't exist yet, and clk_get_rate() just returned clk->rate without taking a mutex. Note that since commit d535a230 ("serial: sh-sci: Require a device per port mapping."), there's no longer a list of serial ports to traverse, and taking the spinlock became superfluous. To fix the issue, just remove the cpufreq notifier: 1. The notifier doesn't work correctly: all it does is update the stored clock rate; it does not update the divider in the hardware. The divider will only be updated when calling sci_set_termios(). I believe this was broken back in 2004, when the old drivers/char/sh-sci.c driver (where the notifier did update the divider) was replaced by drivers/serial/sh-sci.c (where the notifier just updated port->uartclk). Cfr. full-history-linux commits 6f8deaef2e9675d9 ("[PATCH] sh: port sh-sci driver to the new API") and 3f73fe878dc9210a ("[PATCH] Remove old sh-sci driver"). 2. On modern SoCs, the sh-sci parent clock rate is no longer related to the CPU clock rate anyway, so using a cpufreq notifier is futile. Signed-off-by:

commit 2d99b55d upstream. Commit 35dc2483 introduced a check for current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but user space isn't notified about it. This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user() to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with no data returned. This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while constantly sending signals to it.

[ Upstream commit d9749fb5 ] Dmitry Vyukov noted recently that the sctp_port_hashtable had an error in its size computation, observing that the current method never guaranteed that the hashsize (measured in number of entries) would be a power of two, which the input hash function for that table requires. The root cause of the problem is that two values need to be computed (one, the allocation order of the storage requries, as passed to __get_free_pages, and two the number of entries for the hash table). Both need to be ^2, but for different reasons, and the existing code is simply computing one order value, and using it as the basis for both, which is wrong (i.e. it assumes that ((1<<order)*PAGE_SIZE)/sizeof(bucket) is still ^2 when its not). To fix this, we change the logic slightly. We start by computing a goal allocation order (which is limited by the maximum size hash table we want to support. Then we attempt to allocate that size table, decreasing the order until a successful allocation is made. Then, with the resultant successful order we compute the number of buckets that hash table supports, which we then round down to the nearest power of two, giving us the number of entries the table actually supports. I've tested this locally here, using non-debug and spinlock-debug kernels, and the number of entries in the hashtable consistently work out to be powers of two in all cases. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 8013d1d7 ] Commit 6fd99094 ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface") disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 81e8f2e9 ] PHY status frames are not reliable, the PHY may not be able to send them during heavy receive traffic. This overflow condition is signaled by the PHY in the next status frame, but the driver did not make use of it. Instead it always reported wrong tx timestamps to user space after an overflow happened because it assigned newly received tx timestamps to old packets in the queue. This commit fixes this issue by clearing the tx timestamp queue every time an overflow happens, so that no timestamps are delivered for overflow packets. This way time stamping will continue correctly after an overflow. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 83d15e70 ] For tcp_yeah, use an ssthresh floor of 2, the same floor used by Reno and CUBIC, per RFC 5681 (equation 4). tcp_yeah_ssthresh() was sometimes returning a 0 or negative ssthresh value if the intended reduction is as big or bigger than the current cwnd. Congestion control modules should never return a zero or negative ssthresh. A zero ssthresh generally results in a zero cwnd, causing the connection to stall. A negative ssthresh value will be interpreted as a u32 and will set a target cwnd for PRR near 4 billion. Oleksandr Natalenko reported that a system using tcp_yeah with ECN could see a warning about a prior_cwnd of 0 in tcp_cwnd_reduction(). Testing verified that this was due to tcp_yeah_ssthresh() misbehaving in this way. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 068d8bd3 ] In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is closed by sctp_close(). So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said, "Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB. This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling". But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd. Signed-off-by:

commit fbd40ea0 upstream. When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this. Reported-by:

commit b348d7dd upstream. Fix potential out-of-bounds write to urb->transfer_buffer usbip handles network communication directly in the kernel. When receiving a packet from its peer, usbip code parses headers according to protocol. As part of this parsing urb->actual_length is filled. Since the input for urb->actual_length comes from the network, it should be treated as untrusted. Any entity controlling the network may put any value in the input and the preallocated urb->transfer_buffer may not be large enough to hold the data. Thus, the malicious entity is able to write arbitrary data to kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

commit 8b8addf8 upstream. Currently on i386 and on X86_64 when emulating X86_32 in legacy mode, only the stack and the executable are randomized but not other mmapped files (libraries, vDSO, etc.). This patch enables randomization for the libraries, vDSO and mmap requests on i386 and in X86_32 in legacy mode. By default on i386 there are 8 bits for the randomization of the libraries, vDSO and mmaps which only uses 1MB of VA. This patch preserves the original randomness, using 1MB of VA out of 3GB or 4GB. We think that 1MB out of 3GB is not a big cost for having the ASLR. The first obvious security benefit is that all objects are randomized (not only the stack and the executable) in legacy mode which highly increases the ASLR effectiveness, otherwise the attackers may use these non-randomized areas. But also sensitive setuid/setgid applications are more secure because currently, attackers can disable the randomization of these applications by setting the ulimit stack to "unlimited". This is a very old and widely known trick to disable the ASLR in i386 which has been allowed for too long. Another trick used to disable the ASLR was to set the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE personality flag, but fortunately this doesn't work on setuid/setgid applications because there is security checks which clear Security-relevant flags. This patch always randomizes the mmap_legacy_base address, removing the possibility to disable the ASLR by setting the stack to "unlimited". Signed-off-by:

commit bdf533de upstream. We should check that e->target_offset is sane before mark_source_chains gets called since it will fetch the target entry for loop detection. Signed-off-by:

commit 2ef4dfd9 upstream. Handling exceptions from modules never worked on parisc. It was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen during normal use. When a module triggers an exception in get_user() we need to load the main kernel dp value before accessing the exception_data structure, and afterwards restore the original dp value of the module on exit.

commit ef72f311 upstream. The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed ("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase). Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting address is in the exception table. Signed-off-by:

commit e3893027 upstream. We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing the external reference from function type to int type fixes this. This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when called from a kernel module. Signed-off-by:
