I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers

TCP receive window handling is multi staged.
A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf.
Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to
a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window
(about 20 MSS).When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending
on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen
packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window()
Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order
packets.This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of
rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery,
or proper reordering level detection.Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen.
It should be part of the game as in-order packets.In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small
receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should
allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

In commit 0f7cc9a3 "tcp: increase throughput when reordering is high",
it only allows cwnd to increase in Open state. This mistakenly disables
slow start after timeout (CA_Loss). Moreover cwnd won't grow if the
state moves from Disorder to Open later in tcp_fastretrans_alert().Therefore the correct logic should be to allow cwnd to grow as long
as the data is received in order in Open, Loss, or even Disorder state.Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng

In theory the linux cred in a gssproxy reply can include up to
NGROUPS_MAX data, 256K of data. In the common case we expect it to be
shorter. So do as the nfsv3 ACL code does and let the xdr code allocate
the pages as they come in, instead of allocating a lot of pages that
won't typically be used.Tested-by: Simo Sorce

The reply to a gssproxy can include up to NGROUPS_MAX gid's, which will

The encoding of linux creds is a bit confusing.
Also: I think in practice it doesn't really matter whether we treat any

overflow check.Tested-by: Simo Sorce

Two minor behavior changes:
- we're assuming no wasted space at the end of the linux cred.

sw_flow_key alignment was declared as " __aligned(__alignof__(long))".
However, this breaks on the m68k architecture where long is 32 bit in
size but 16 bit aligned by default. This aligns to the size of a long to
ensure that we can always do comparsions in full long-sized chunks. It
also adds an additional build check to catch any reduction in alignment.CC: Andy Zhou

RFC 4861 says that the IP source address of the Redirect is the
same as the current first-hop router for the specified ICMP
Destination Address, so the gateway should be taken into
consideration when we find the route for redirect.There was once a check in commit
a6279458c534d01ccc39498aba61c93083ee0372 ("NDISC: Search over
all possible rules on receipt of redirect.") and the check
went away in commit b94f1c0904da9b8bf031667afc48080ba7c3e8c9
("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of
rt6_redirect()").The bug is only "exploitable" on layer-2 because the source
address of the redirect is checked to be a valid link-local
address but it makes spoofing a lot easier in the same L2
domain nonetheless.Thanks very much for Hannes's help.

i) RFC3810, 9.2. Query Interval [QI] says:
The Query Interval variable denotes the interval between General
Queries sent by the Querier. Default value: 125 seconds. [...]ii) RFC3810, 9.3. Query Response Interval [QRI] says:
The Maximum Response Delay used to calculate the Maximum Response
Code inserted into the periodic General Queries. Default value:
10000 (10 seconds) [...] The number of seconds represented by the
[Query Response Interval] must be less than the [Query Interval].iii) RFC3810, 9.12. Older Version Querier Present Timeout [OVQPT] says:
The Older Version Querier Present Timeout is the time-out for
transitioning a host back to MLDv2 Host Compatibility Mode. When an
MLDv1 query is received, MLDv2 hosts set their Older Version Querier
Present Timer to [Older Version Querier Present Timeout].This value MUST be ([Robustness Variable] times (the [Query Interval]
in the last Query received)) plus ([Query Response Interval]).Hence, on *default* the timeout results in:
[RV] = 2, [QI] = 125sec, [QRI] = 10sec
[OVQPT] = [RV] * [QI] + [QRI] = 260secHaving that said, we currently calculate [OVQPT] (here given as 'switchback'
variable) as ...switchback = (idev->mc_qrv + 1) * max_delay
RFC3810, 9.12. says "the [Query Interval] in the last Query received". In
section "9.14. Configuring timers", it is said:This section is meant to provide advice to network administrators on
how to tune these settings to their network. Ambitious router
implementations might tune these settings dynamically based upon
changing characteristics of the network. [...]iv) RFC38010, 9.14.2. Query Interval:
The overall level of periodic MLD traffic is inversely proportional
to the Query Interval. A longer Query Interval results in a lower
overall level of MLD traffic. The value of the Query Interval MUST
be equal to or greater than the Maximum Response Delay used to
calculate the Maximum Response Code inserted in General Query
messages.I assume that was why switchback is calculated as is (3 * max_delay), although
this setting seems to be meant for routers only to configure their [QI]
interval for non-default intervals. So usage here like this is clearly wrong.Concluding, the current behaviour in IPv6's multicast code is not conform
to the RFC as switch back is calculated wrongly. That is, it has a too small
value, so MLDv2 hosts switch back again to MLDv2 way too early, i.e. ~30secs
instead of ~260secs on default.Hence, introduce necessary helper functions and fix this up properly as it
should be.Introduced in 06da92283 ("[IPV6]: Add MLDv2 support."). Credits to Hannes
Frederic Sowa who also had a hand in this as well. Also thanks to Hangbin Liu
who did initial testing.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

In tcp_v6_do_rcv() code, when processing pkt options, we soley work
on our skb clone opt_skb that we've created earlier before entering
tcp_rcv_established() on our way. However, only in condition ...if (np->rxopt.bits.rxtclass)
np->rcv_tclass = ipv6_get_dsfield(ipv6_hdr(skb));... we work on skb itself. As we extract every other information out
of opt_skb in ipv6_pktoptions path, this seems wrong, since skb can
already be released by tcp_rcv_established() earlier on. When we try
to access it in ipv6_hdr(), we will dereference freed skb.[ Bug added by commit 4c507d2897bd9b ("net: implement IP_RECVTOS for

Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages
currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace
socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space.If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier
loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume
all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to
be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets.The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited,
use of alloc_skb() bypasses the socket wmem buffer size enforcement
while the manual call to skb_set_owner_w() maintains the socket
reference needed for the IPv6 output path.This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified
form.Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf

Commit b67bfe0d42cac56c512dd5da4b1b347a23f4b70a ("hlist: drop
the node parameter from iterators") changed the behavior of
hlist_for_each_entry_safe to leave the p argument NULL.Fix this up by tracking the last argument.

net: sctp: Fix data chunk fragmentation for MTU values which are not multiple of 4
Initially the problem was observed with ipsec, but later it became clear that
SCTP data chunk fragmentation algorithm has problems with MTU values which are
not multiple of 4. Test program was used which just transmits 2000 bytes long
packets to other host. tcpdump was used to observe re-fragmentation in IP layer
after SCTP already fragmented data chunks.With MTU 1500:
12:54:34.082904 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto SCTP (132), length 1500)

which is sub-optimal. The problem is max_data initial value, which doesn't take
into account the fact, that data chunk must be padded to 4-bytes boundary.
It's enough to correct max_data, because all later adjustments are correctly
aligned to 4-bytes boundary.After the fix is applied, everything is fragmented correctly for uneven MTUs:

- is a performance issue, the packets are still transmitted
- doesn't show up with default MTU 1500, but possibly with ipsec (MTU 1438)Signed-off-by: Alexander Sverdlin
