[ Upstream commit 0cda345d ] commit b9f47a3a (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent divide error) try to prevent divide error, but there is still a little chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case the param cnt get negative value, then ratio+cnt would overflow and may happen to be zero. As a result, min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero. In some old kernels, such as 2.6.32, there is a bug that would pass negative param, which then ultimately leads to this divide error. commit 5b35e1e6 (tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count with skb MSS) fixed the negative param issue. However, it's safe that we fix the range of delayed_ack as well, to make sure we do not hit a divide by zero. CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f114890c ] This reverts commit 12a2856b. The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated. Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and the other VM does not. In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set. The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to the guest.

[ Upstream commit c53864fd ] Since 115c9b81 (rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation), RTM_NEWLINK messages only contain the IFLA_VFINFO_LIST attribute if they were solicited by a GETLINK message containing an IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag. That was done because some user programs broke when they received more data than expected - because IFLA_VFINFO_LIST contains information for each VF it can become large if there are many VFs. However, the IFLA_VF_PORTS attribute, supplied for devices which implement ndo_get_vf_port (currently the 'enic' driver only), has the same problem. It supplies per-VF information and can therefore become large, but it is not currently conditional on the IFLA_EXT_MASK value. Worse, it interacts badly with the existing EXT_MASK handling. When IFLA_EXT_MASK is not supplied, the buffer for netlink replies is fixed at NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If the information for IFLA_VF_PORTS exceeds this, then rtnl_fill_ifinfo() returns -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet. netlink_dump() will misinterpret this as having finished the listing and omit data for this interface and all subsequent ones. That can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch addresses the problem by only supplying IFLA_VF_PORTS when IFLA_EXT_MASK is supplied with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag set.

[ Upstream commit 973462bb ] Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong, When listing all interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for that interface and all subsequent ones. This can cause getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop. This patch won't fix the problem, but it will WARN_ON() making it easier to track down what's going wrong. Signed-off-by:

The patch fixes a problem with dropped jumbo frames after usage of 'ethtool -G ... rx'. Scenario: 1. ip link set eth0 up 2. ethtool -G eth0 rx N # <- This zeroes rx-jumbo 3. ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0 The ethtool command set rx_jumbo_pending to zero so any received jumbo packets are dropped and you need to use 'ethtool -G eth0 rx-jumbo N' to workaround the issue. The patch changes the logic so rx_jumbo_pending value is changed only if jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > 1500). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 05ab8f26 ] The BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR and BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extensions fail to check for a minimal message length before testing the supplied offset to be within the bounds of the message. This allows the subtraction of the nla header to underflow and therefore -- as the data type is unsigned -- allowing far to big offset and length values for the search of the netlink attribute. The remainder calculation for the BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension is also wrong. It has the minuend and subtrahend mixed up, therefore calculates a huge length value, allowing to overrun the end of the message while looking for the netlink attribute. The following three BPF snippets will trigger the bugs when attached to a UNIX datagram socket and parsing a message with length 1, 2 or 3. ,-[ PoC for missing size check in BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR ]-- | ld #0x87654321 | ldx #42 | ld #nla | ret a `--- ,-[ PoC for the same bug in BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST ]-- | ld #0x87654321 | ldx #42 | ld #nlan | ret a `--- ,-[ PoC for wrong remainder calculation in BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST ]-- | ; (needs a fake netlink header at offset 0) | ld #0 | ldx #42 | ld #nlan | ret a `--- Fix the first issue by ensuring the message length fulfills the minimal size constrains of a nla header.

[ Upstream commit 6d39d589 ] In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss. For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size. Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.

[ Upstream commit 1e1cdf8a ] In function sctp_wake_up_waiters(), we need to involve a test if the association is declared dead. If so, we don't have any reference to a possible sibling association anymore and need to invoke sctp_write_space() instead, and normally walk the socket's associations and notify them of new wmem space. The reason for special casing is that otherwise, we could run into the following issue when a sctp_primitive_SEND() call from sctp_sendmsg() fails, and tries to flush an association's outq, i.e. in the following way: sctp_association_free() `-> list_del(&asoc->asocs) <-- poisons list pointer asoc->base.dead = true sctp_outq_free(&asoc->outqueue) `-> __sctp_outq_teardown() `-> sctp_chunk_free() `-> consume_skb() `-> sctp_wfree() `-> sctp_wake_up_waiters() <-- dereferences poisoned pointers if asoc->ep->sndbuf_policy=0 Therefore, only walk the list in an 'optimized' way if we find that the current association is still active. We could also use list_del_init() in addition when we call sctp_association_free(), but as Vlad suggests, we want to trap such bugs and thus leave it poisoned as is. Why is it safe to resolve the issue by testing for asoc->base.dead? Parallel calls to sctp_sendmsg() are protected under socket lock, that is lock_sock()/release_sock(). Only within that path under lock held, we're setting skb/chunk owner via sctp_set_owner_w(). Eventually, chunks are freed directly by an association still under that lock. So when traversing association list on destruction time from sctp_wake_up_waiters() via sctp_wfree(), a different CPU can't be running sctp_wfree() while another one calls sctp_association_free() as both happens under the same lock. Therefore, this can also not race with setting/testing against asoc->base.dead as we are guaranteed for this to happen in order, under lock. Further, Vlad says: the times we check asoc->base.dead is when we've cached an association pointer for later processing. In between cache and processing, the association may have been freed and is simply still around due to reference counts. We check asoc->base.dead under a lock, so it should always be safe to check and not race against sctp_association_free(). Stress-testing seems fine now, too.

[ Upstream commit 52c35bef ] SCTP charges chunks for wmem accounting via skb->truesize in sctp_set_owner_w(), and sctp_wfree() respectively as the reverse operation. If a sender runs out of wmem, it needs to wait via sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), and gets woken up by a call to __sctp_write_space() mostly via sctp_wfree(). __sctp_write_space() is being called per association. Although we assign sk->sk_write_space() to sctp_write_space(), which is then being done per socket, it is only used if send space is increased per socket option (SO_SNDBUF), as SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is set and therefore not invoked in sock_wfree(). Commit 4c3a5bda ("sctp: Don't charge for data in sndbuf again when transmitting packet") fixed an issue where in case sctp_packet_transmit() manages to queue up more than sndbuf bytes, sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() will never be woken up again unless it is interrupted by a signal. However, a still remaining issue is that if net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=0, that is accounting per socket, and one-to-many sockets are in use, the reclaimed write space from sctp_wfree() is 'unfairly' handed back on the server to the association that is the lucky one to be woken up again via __sctp_write_space(), while the remaining associations are never be woken up again (unless by a signal). The effect disappears with net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=1, that is wmem accounting per association, as it guarantees a fair share of wmem among associations. Therefore, if we have reclaimed memory in case of per socket accounting, wake all related associations to a socket in a fair manner, that is, traverse the socket association list starting from the current neighbour of the association and issue a __sctp_write_space() to everyone until we end up waking ourselves. This guarantees that no association is preferred over another and even if more associations are taken into the one-to-many session, all receivers will get messages from the server and are not stalled forever on high load. This setting still leaves the advantage of per socket accounting in touch as an association can still use up global limits if unused by others.

commit 62496658 upstream. Mode setting in the TGA driver is broken for these reasons: - info->fix.line_length is set just once in tgafb_init_fix function. If we change videomode, info->fix.line_length is not recalculated - so the video mode is changed but the screen is corrupted because of wrong info->fix.line_length. - info->fix.smem_len is set in tgafb_init_fix to the size of the default video mode (640x480). If we set a higher resolution, info->fix.smem_len is smaller than the current screen size, preventing the userspace program from mapping the framebuffer. This patch fixes it: - info->fix.line_length initialization is moved to tgafb_set_par so that it is recalculated with each mode change. - info->fix.smem_len is set to a fixed value representing the real amount of video ram (the values are taken from xfree86 driver). - add a check to tgafb_check_var to prevent us from setting a videomode that doesn't fit into videoram. - in tgafb_register, tgafb_init_fix is moved upwards, to be called before fb_find_mode (because fb_find_mode already needs the videoram size set in tgafb_init_fix).

commit 3a3bfb61 upstream. __ratelimit() can be considered an inverted bool test because it returns true when not ratelimited. Several tests in the kernel tree use this __ratelimit() function incorrectly. No net_ratelimit uses are incorrect currently though. Most uses of net_ratelimit are to log something via printk or pr_<level>. In order to minimize the uses of net_ratelimit, and to start standardizing the code style used for __ratelimit() and net_ratelimit(), add a net_ratelimited_function() macro and net_<level>_ratelimited() logging macros similar to pr_<level>_ratelimited that use the global net_ratelimit instead of a static per call site "struct ratelimit_state".

commit 4291086b upstream. The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST. And since it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two writers: * the ECHOing from a workqueue and * pty_write from the process race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows. If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is: int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags); struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail; ... memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space); ... tb->used += space; so the race of the two can result in something like this: A B __tty_buffer_request_room __tty_buffer_request_room memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) tb->used += space; memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used increment. Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to serialize echo output with normal tty writes. This ensures the tty buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and everything is fine. Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is present in kernels at least after commit d945cb9c (pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3. js: add more info to the commit log js: switch to bool js: lock unconditionally js: lock only the tty->ops->write call References: CVE-2014-0196 Reported-and-tested-by:
