[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_h323: add checking of out-of-range on choices' index values Choices' index values may be out of range while still encoded in the fixed length bit-field. This bug may cause access to undefined types (NULL pointers) and thus crashes (Reported by Zhongling Wen). This patch also adds checking of decode flag when decoding SEQUENCEs.

The i8042 driver fails detection of the AUX port with some chips, because they apparently do not change the I8042_CTR_AUXDIS bit immediately. This is known to affect at least HP500/HP510 notebooks, consequently the built-in touchpad will not work. The patch will simply reread the value until it gets the expected value or a retry limit is hit, without touching other workaround code in the same area.

This combines two upstream commits to fix an OOPS with AF_UNIX and SELINUX. basically, sk->sk_socket can become null because we access a peer socket without any locking, so it can be shut down and released in another thread. Commit: d410b81b4eef2e4409f9c38ef201253fbbcc7d94 [AF_UNIX]: Make socket locking much less confusing. The unix_state_*() locking macros imply that there is some rwlock kind of thing going on, but the implementation is actually a spinlock which makes the code more confusing than it needs to be. So use plain unix_state_lock and unix_state_unlock. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Commit: 19fec3e807a487415e77113cb9dbdaa2da739836 [AF_UNIX]: Fix datagram connect race causing an OOPS. Based upon an excellent bug report and initial patch by Frederik Deweerdt. The UNIX datagram connect code blindly dereferences other->sk_socket via the call down to the security_unix_may_send() function. Without locking 'other' that pointer can go NULL via unix_release_sock() which does sock_orphan() which also marks the socket SOCK_DEAD. So we have to lock both 'sk' and 'other' yet avoid all kinds of potential deadlocks (connect to self is OK for datagram sockets and it is possible for two datagram sockets to perform a simultaneous connect to each other). So what we do is have a "double lock" function similar to how we handle this situation in other areas of the kernel. We take the lock of the socket pointer with the smallest address first in order to avoid ABBA style deadlocks. Once we have them both locked, we check to see if SOCK_DEAD is set for 'other' and if so, drop everything and retry the lookup. Signed-off-by: David S.

Kenji Kaneshige found this race between device removal and registration. On unregister it is possible for the old device to exist, because sysfs file is still open. A new device with 'eth%d' will select the same name, but sysfs kobject register will fial. The following changes the shutdown order slightly. It hold a removes the sysfs entries earlier (on unregister_netdevice), but holds a kobject reference. Then when todo runs the actual last put free happens.

This diff changes the default port range used for outgoing connections, from "use 32768-61000 in most cases, but use N-4999 on small boxes (where N is a multiple of 1024, depending on just *how* small the box is)" to just "use 32768-61000 in all cases". I don't believe there are any drawbacks to this change, and it keeps outgoing connection ports farther away from the mess of IANA-registered ports.

It was using an immediate _PAGE_EXEC_4U value in an 'and' instruction to perform the test. This doesn't work because the immediate field is signed 13-bit, this the mask being tested against the PTE was 0x1000 sign-extended to 32-bits instead of just plain 0x1000. Signed-off-by: David S.

sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket structure. In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like "schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value". Proposed patch: - checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong - do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs ratelimited information message about such attempts.

The Linux kernel ignored the PROM's serial settings (115200,n,8,1 in my case). This was because mode_prop remained "ttyX-mode" (expected: "ttya-mode") due to the constness of string literals when used with "char *". Since there is no "ttyX-mode" property in the PROM, Linux always used the default 9600.

in4_pton converts a textual representation of an ip4 address into an integer representation. However, when the textual representation is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to -1, the function bails out with an error when reading the colon. It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above.

The git commit c2fda5fe which added the page_test_and_clear_dirty call to page_mkclean and the git commit 7658cc28 which fixes the "nasty and subtle race in shared mmap'ed page writeback" problem in clear_page_dirty_for_io cause data corruption on s390. The effect of the two changes is that for every call to clear_page_dirty_for_io a page_test_and_clear_dirty is done. If the per page dirty bit is set set_page_dirty is called. Strangly clear_page_dirty_for_io is called for not-uptodate pages, e.g. over this call-chain: [<000000000007c0f2>] clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x12a/0x130 [<000000000007c494>] generic_writepages+0x258/0x3e0 [<000000000007c692>] do_writepages+0x76/0x7c [<00000000000c7a26>] __writeback_single_inode+0xba/0x3e4 [<00000000000c831a>] sync_sb_inodes+0x23e/0x398 [<00000000000c8802>] writeback_inodes+0x12e/0x140 [<000000000007b9ee>] wb_kupdate+0xd2/0x178 [<000000000007cca2>] pdflush+0x162/0x23c The bad news now is that page_test_and_clear_dirty might claim that a not-uptodate page is dirty since SetPageUptodate which resets the per page dirty bit has not yet been called. The page writeback that follows clobbers the data on disk. The simplest solution to this problem is to move the call to page_test_and_clear_dirty under the "if (page_mapped(page))". If a file backed page is mapped it is uptodate.

git commit f994aae1 changed the function declaration of csum_tcpudp_nofold. Argument types were changed from unsigned long to __be32 (unsigned int). Therefore we lost the implicit type conversion that zeroed the upper half of the registers that are used to pass parameters. Since the inline assembly relied on this we ended up adding random values and wrong checksums were created. Showed only up on machines with more than 4GB since gcc produced code where the registers that are used to pass 'saddr' and 'daddr' previously contained addresses before calling this function. Fix this by using 32 bit arithmetics and convert code to C, since gcc produces better code than these hand-optimized versions.

The function crypto_mod_put first frees the algorithm and then drops the reference to its module.

Currently, devt_attr for the "dev" file is freed immediately on device removal, but if the "dev" sysfs file is open when a device is removed, sysfs will access its attribute structure for further access including close resulting in jumping to garbled address.

While porting some changes of the 2.6.21-rc7 pptp/proto_gre conntrack and nat modules to a 2.4.32 kernel I noticed that the gre_key function returns a wrong pointer to the GRE key of a version 0 packet thus corrupting the packet payload. The intended behaviour for GREv0 packets is to act like nf_conntrack_proto_generic/nf_nat_proto_unknown so I have ripped the offending functions (not used anymore) and modified the nf_nat_proto_gre modules to not touch version 0 (non PPTP) packets.
