  • Commit be639ac6 ("NET: AX.25: Check ioctl arguments to avoid overflows
    further down the road") rejects very large arguments, but doesn't
    completely fix overflows on 64-bit systems. Consider the AX25_T2 case.

    int opt;
    ...
    if (opt < 1 || opt > ULONG_MAX / HZ) {
    res = -EINVAL;
    break;
    }
    ax25->t2 = opt * HZ;

    The 32-bit multiplication opt * HZ would overflow before being assigned
    to 64-bit ax25->t2. This patch changes "opt" to unsigned long.

  • Very large, nonsenical arguments or use in very extreme conditions could
    result in integer overflows. Check ioctls arguments to avoid such
    overflows and return -EINVAL for too large arguments.

    To allow the use of AX.25 for even the most extreme setup (think packet
    radio to the Phase 5E mars probe) we make no further attempt to clamp the
    argument range.

    Originally reported by Fan Long and a first patch
    was sent by Xi Wang .

  • Sometimes ax25_getname() doesn't initialize all members of fsa_digipeater
    field of fsa struct, also the struct has padding bytes between
    sax25_call and sax25_ndigis fields. This structure is then copied to
    userland. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be
    able to receive packets with destructors set. To be on the safe
    side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since
    some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets
    destructors properly.

    Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able
    to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered.

    So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan
    call to where it's actually needed. In particular, I've added it
    to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor
    call.

    This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that
    we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb
    is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.

    Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer

    value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending.
