2011-05-10xfrm: Assign the inner mode output function to the dst entrySteffen Klassert
As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4 packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios. With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called. We switch then to outer mode with the output_finish functions.

2011-05-10netfilter: IPv6: initialize TOS field in REJECT target moduleFernando Luis Vazquez Cao
The IPv6 header is not zeroed out in alloc_skb so we must initialize it properly unless we want to see IPv6 packets with random TOS fields floating around. The current implementation resets the flow label but this could be changed if deemed necessary. We stumbled upon this issue when trying to apply a mangle rule to the RST packet generated by the REJECT target module.

2011-04-26esp6: Fix scatterlist initializationSteffen Klassert
When we use IPsec extended sequence numbers, we may overwrite the last scatterlist of the associated data by the scatterlist for the skb. This patch fixes this by placing the scatterlist for the skb right behind the last scatterlist of the associated data. esp4 does it already like that.

At this point, skb->data points to skb_transport_header. So, headroom check is wrong. For some case:bridge(UFO is on) + eth device(UFO is off), there is no enough headroom for IPv6 frag head. But headroom check is always false. This will bring about data be moved to there prior to skb->head, when adding IPv6 frag header to skb.

2011-04-06ipv6: Enable RFS sk_rxhash tracking for ipv6 sockets (v2)Neil Horman
properly record sk_rxhash in ipv6 sockets (v2) Noticed while working on another project that flows to sockets which I had open on a test systems weren't getting steered properly when I had RFS enabled. Looking more closely I found that: 1) The affected sockets were all ipv6 2) They weren't getting steered because sk->sk_rxhash was never set from the incomming skbs on that socket. This was occuring because there are several points in the IPv4 tcp and udp code which save the rxhash value when a new connection is established. Those calls to sock_rps_save_rxhash were never added to the corresponding ipv6 code paths. This patch adds those calls. Tested by myself to properly enable RFS functionalty on ipv6.

2011-04-04netfilter: af_info: add 'strict' parameter to limit lookup to .oifFlorian Westphal
ipv6 fib lookup can set RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag to restrict search to an interface, but this flag cannot be set via struct flowi. Also, it cannot be set via ip6_route_output: this function uses the passed sock struct to determine if this flag is required (by testing for nonzero sk_bound_dev_if). Work around this by passing in an artificial struct sk in case 'strict' argument is true. This is required to replace the rt6_lookup call in xt_addrtype.c with nf_afinfo->route().

2011-03-30net: gre: provide multicast mappings for ipv4 and ipv6Timo Teräs
My commit 6d55cb91a0020ac0 (gre: fix hard header destination address checking) broke multicast. The reason is that ip_gre used to get ipgre_header() calls with zero destination if we have NOARP or multicast destination. Instead the actual target was decided at ipgre_tunnel_xmit() time based on per-protocol dissection. Instead of allowing the "abuse" of ->header() calls with invalid destination, this creates multicast mappings for ip_gre. This also fixes "ip neigh show nud noarp" to display the proper multicast mappings used by the gre device.

2011-03-21net ipv6: Fix duplicate /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh directory entries.Eric W. Biederman
When I was fixing issues with unregisgtering tables under /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh by adding a mount point it appears I missed a critical ordering issue, in the ipv6 initialization. I had not realized that ipv6_sysctl_register is called at the very end of the ipv6 initialization and in particular after we call neigh_sysctl_register from ndisc_init. "neigh" needs to be initialized in ipv6_static_sysctl_register which is the first ipv6 table to initialized, and definitely before ndisc_init. This removes the weirdness of duplicate tables while still providing a "neigh" mount point which prevents races in sysctl unregistering.

2011-03-09ipv6: Don't create clones of host routes.David S. Miller
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29252 Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30462 In commit d80bc0fd262ef840ed4e82593ad6416fa1ba3fc4 ("ipv6: Always clone offlink routes.") we forced the kernel to always clone offlink routes. The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a prefixed route. The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years, but was always off due to a protecting CPP define. So perhaps it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here. The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a host route (ie. has DST_HOST set). Because if we do, an identical entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail. This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert the same host route at the same time. Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set. Reported-by: slash@ac.auone-net.jp Reported-by: Ernst Sjöstrand <ernstp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-03-10net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modulesVasiliy Kulikov
Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't allow anybody load any module not related to networking. This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019. Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0". Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit. root@albatros:~# capsh --drop=$(seq -s, 0 11),$(seq -s, 13 34) -- root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: fffffff800001000 CapEff: fffffff800001000 CapBnd: fffffff800001000 root@albatros:~# modprobe xfs FATAL: Error inserting xfs (/lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-00001-g2bf4ca3/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko): Operation not permitted root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit root@albatros:~# ifconfig sit sit: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit root@albatros:~# ifconfig sit0 sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep sit sit 10457 0 tunnel4 2957 1 sit For CAP_SYS_MODULE module loading is still relaxed: root@albatros:~# grep Cap /proc/$$/status CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: ffffffffffffffff CapEff: ffffffffffffffff CapBnd: ffffffffffffffff root@albatros:~# ifconfig xfs xfs: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@albatros:~# lsmod | grep xfs xfs 745319 0 Reference: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/203 Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Acked-by: David S.

2011-03-01ipv6: Make icmp route lookup code a bit clearer.David S. Miller
The route lookup code in icmpv6_send() is slightly tricky as a result of having to handle all of the requirements of RFC 4301 host relookups. Pull the route resolution into a seperate function, so that the error handling and route reference counting is hopefully easier to see and contained wholly within this new routine.
