* [NETLINK]: Infinite recursion in netlink.Alexey Kuznetsov2007-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel, which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow. The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared. The patch also makes some minimal cleanup: 1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing 2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet) 3. Put result of lookup Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [XFRM]: beet: fix pseudo header length valuePatrick McHardy2007-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-07.txt is not entirely clear on how the length value of the pseudo header should be calculated, it states "The Header Length field contains the length of the pseudo header, IPv4 options, and padding in 8 octets units.", but also states "Length in octets (Header Len + 1) * 8". draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-08-pre1.txt [1] clarifies this, the header length should not include the first 8 byte. This change affects backwards compatibility, but option encapsulation didn't work until very recently anyway.

* [TCP]: Congestion control initialization.Stephen Hemminger2007-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change to defer congestion control initialization. If setsockopt() was used to change TCP_CONGESTION before connection is established, then protocols that use sequence numbers to keep track of one RTT interval (vegas, illinois, ...) get confused.

* RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4Trond Myklebust2007-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP" The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition "req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list" should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false. Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit(). Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has already occurred. Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socketDenis Lunev2007-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release() that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero callback is freed. Here it is: CPU1: CPU2 netlink_release(): netlink_dump_start(): sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */ netlink_remove(); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } nlk->cb = cb; spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); ... sock_orphan(sk); /* * proceed with releasing * the socket */ The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.

* [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket errorOlaf Kirch2007-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion.

* [SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial deliveryVlad Yasevich2007-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that is not part of partial delivery process. The only way to this is for a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a given stream. This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery. This is a two-fold problem, in that: 1. the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not be doing. 2. this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results in ulp hanging. This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we don't do stream interleave. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | [VLAN]: Allow VLAN interface on top of bridge interfaceJerome Borsboom2007-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crashJean Delvare2007-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return value of kernel_recvmsg() should be assigned to "err", not compared with the random value of a never initialized "err" (and the "< 0" check wrongly always returned false since == comparisons never have a result < 0).

* [PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.Eric W. Biederman2007-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | [PATCH] bluetooth hid quirks: mightymouse quirkJiri Kosina2007-03-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
