Jakub Kicinski pointed out that we need to handle ipv6 extension headers and to explicitly check for supported tunnel types in .ndo_features_check(). For ipv6 extension headers, the hardware supports up to 2 ext. headers and each must be <= 64 bytes. For tunneled packets, the supported packets are UDP with supported VXLAN and Geneve ports, GRE, and IPIP. v3: More improvements based on Alexander Duyck's valuable feedback - Remove the jump lable in bnxt_features_check() and restructure it so that the TCP/UDP is check is consolidated in bnxt_exthdr_check(). v2: Add missing step to check inner ipv6 header for UDP and GRE tunnels. Check TCP/UDP next header after skipping ipv6 ext headers for non-tunneled packets and for inner ipv6.

If the owing socket is shutting down - e.g. the sock reference count already dropped to 0 and only sk_wmem_alloc is keeping the sock alive, skb_orphan_partial() becomes a no-op.

A race condition was found in isotp_setsockopt() which allows to change socket options after the socket was bound. For the specific case of SF_BROADCAST support, this might lead to possible use-after-free because can_rx_unregister() is not called.

IPA configuration data includes an array of memory region descriptors. That was a fixed-size array at one time, but at some point we started defining it such that it was only as big as required for a given platform. The actual number of entries in the array is recorded in the configuration data along with the array. A loop in ipa_mem_config() still assumes the array has entries for all defined memory region IDs. As a result, this loop can go past the end of the actual array and attempt to write "canary" values based on nonsensical data. Fix this, by stashing the number of entries in the array, and using that rather than IPA_MEM_COUNT in the initialization loop found in ipa_mem_config(). The only remaining use of IPA_MEM_COUNT is in a validation check to ensure configuration data doesn't have too many entries. That's fine for now.

Maxim reported several issues when forcing a TCP transparent proxy to use the MPTCP protocol for the inbound connections. He also provided a clean reproducer. The problem boils down to 'mptcp_frag_can_collapse_to()' assuming that only MPTCP will use the given page_frag. If others - e.g. the plain TCP protocol - allocate page fragments, we can end-up re-using already allocated memory for mptcp_data_frag.

Both get and set WoL will check device_can_wakeup(), if MAC supports PMT, it will set device wakeup capability. After commit 1d8e5b0f ("net: stmmac: Support WOL with phy"), device wakeup capability will be overwrite in stmmac_init_phy() according to phy's Wol feature. If phy doesn't support WoL, then MAC will lose wakeup capability. To fix this issue, only overwrite device wakeup capability when MAC doesn't support PMT. For STMMAC now driver checks MAC's WoL capability if MAC supports PMT, if not support, driver will check PHY's WoL capability. Fixes: 1d8e5b0f ("net: stmmac: Support WOL with phy") Reviewed-by:

During the discussion in [0]. It was pointed out that static functions in ppc64 is prefixed with ".". For example, the 'readelf -s vmlinux.ppc': 89326: c000000001383280 24 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 31 cubictcp_init 89327: c000000000c97c50 168 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 .cubictcp_init The one with FUNC type is ".cubictcp_init" instead of "cubictcp_init". The "." seems to be done by arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h. This caused that pahole cannot generate the BTF for these tcp-cc kernel functions because pahole only captures the FUNC type and "cubictcp_init" is not. It then failed the kernel compilation in ppc64. This behavior is only reported in ppc64 so far. I tried arm64, s390, and sparc64 and did not observe this "." prefix and NOTYPE behavior. Since the kfunc call is only supported in the x86_64 and x86_32 JIT, this patch limits those tcp-cc functions to x86 only to avoid unnecessary compilation issue in other ARCHs. In the future, we can examine if it is better to change all those functions from static to extern.

The bpf_seq_printf, bpf_trace_printk and bpf_snprintf helpers share one per-cpu buffer that they use to store temporary data (arguments to bprintf). They "get" that buffer with try_get_fmt_tmp_buf and "put" it by the end of their scope with bpf_bprintf_cleanup. If one of these helpers gets called within the scope of one of these helpers, for example: a first bpf program gets called, uses bpf_trace_printk which calls raw_spin_lock_irqsave which is traced by another bpf program that calls bpf_snprintf, then the second "get" fails. Essentially, these helpers are not re-entrant. They would return -EBUSY and print a warning message once. This patch triples the number of bprintf buffers to allow three levels of nesting. This is very similar to what was done for tracepoints in "9594dc3c bpf: fix nested bpf tracepoints with per-cpu data" Fixes: d9c9e4db ("bpf: Factorize bpf_trace_printk and bpf_seq_printf") Reported-by: syzbot+63122d0bc347f18c1884@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by:

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default. If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2. This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly, this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot. We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2. Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF that we added a while ago. Signed-off-by: -

General setup ---> BPF subsystem ---> ... in order to have all knobs in a single location and thus ease BPF related configuration. Networking related bits such as sockmap are out of scope for the general setup and therefore better suited to remain in net/Kconfig. Signed-off-by: -

Currently the fragment cache setup during peer assoc is cleared only during peer delete. In case a key reinstallation happens with the same peer, the same fragment cache with old fragments added before key installation could be clubbed with fragments received after. This might be exploited to mix fragments of different data resulting in a proper unintended reassembled packet to be passed up the stack. Hence flush the fragment cache on every key installation to prevent potential attacks (CVE-2020-24587).

In certain scenarios a normal MSDU can be received as an A-MSDU when the A-MSDU present bit of a QoS header gets flipped during reception. Since this bit is unauthenticated, the hardware crypto engine can pass the frame to the driver without any error indication. This could result in processing unintended subframes collected in the A-MSDU list. Hence, validate A-MSDU list by checking if the first frame has a valid subframe header. Comparing the non-aggregated MSDU and an A-MSDU, the fields of the first subframe DA matches the LLC/SNAP header fields of a normal MSDU. In order to avoid processing such frames, add a validation to filter such A-MSDU frames where the first subframe header DA matches with the LLC/SNAP header pattern.

For some chips/drivers, e.g., QCA6174 with ath10k, the decryption is done by the hardware, and the Protected bit in the Frame Control field is cleared in the lower level driver before the frame is passed to mac80211. In such cases, the condition for ieee80211_has_protected() is not met in ieee80211_rx_h_defragment() of mac80211 and the new security validation steps are not executed. Extend mac80211 to cover the case where the Protected bit has been cleared, but the frame is indicated as having been decrypted by the hardware. This extends protection against mixed key and fragment cache attack for additional drivers/chips. This fixes CVE-2020-24586 and CVE-2020-24587 for such cases.

EAPOL frames are used for authentication and key management between the AP and each individual STA associated in the BSS. Those frames are not supposed to be sent by one associated STA to another associated STA (either unicast for broadcast/multicast). Similarly, in 802.11 they're supposed to be sent to the authenticator (AP) address. Since it is possible for unexpected EAPOL frames to result in misbehavior in supplicant implementations, it is better for the AP to not allow such cases to be forwarded to other clients either directly, or indirectly if the AP interface is part of a bridge. Accept EAPOL (control port) frames only if they're transmitted to the own address, or, due to interoperability concerns, to the PAE group address. Disable forwarding of EAPOL (or well, the configured control port protocol) frames back to wireless medium in all cases. Previously, these frames were accepted from fully authenticated and authorized stations and also from unauthenticated stations for one of the cases. Additionally, to avoid forwarding by the bridge, rewrite the PAE group address case to the local MAC address. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Co-developed-by:
