      udp: Fix rcv socket locking · 8c4d2d9f
      Herbert Xu authored 
      
[ Upstream commits d97106ea and
   93821778 ]

The previous patch in response to the recursive locking on IPsec
reception is broken as it tries to drop the BH socket lock while in
user context.

This patch fixes it by shrinking the section protected by the
socket lock to sock_queue_rcv_skb only.  The only reason we added
the lock is for the accounting which happens in that function.

      sctp: Fix oops when INIT-ACK indicates that peer doesn't support AUTH · bb5168ca
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      
[ Upstream commit add52379 ]

If INIT-ACK is received with SupportedExtensions parameter which
indicates that the peer does not support AUTH, the packet will be
silently ignore, and sctp_process_init() do cleanup all of the
transports in the association.
When T1-Init timer is expires, OOPS happen while we try to choose
a different init transport.

The solution is to only clean up the non-active transports, i.e
the ones that the peer added.  However, that introduces a problem
with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for
the transports provided by the user.  So, we'll simply mark
user-provided transports as ACTIVE.  That will allow INIT
retransmissions to work properly in the sctp_connectx() context
and prevent the crash.

      sctp: do not enable peer features if we can't do them. · b18dfc32
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      
[ Upstream commit 0ef46e28 ]

Do not enable peer features like addip and auth, if they
are administratively disabled localy.  If the peer resports
that he supports something that we don't, neither end can
use it so enabling it is pointless.  This solves a problem
when talking to a peer that has auth and addip enabled while
we do not.  Found by Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul <andrei@iptel.org>.

This is the line in nla_ok():

  /**
   * nla_ok - check if the netlink attribute fits into the remaining bytes
   * @nla: netlink attribute
   * @remaining: number of bytes remaining in attribute stream
   */
  static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining)
  {
          return remaining >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                 nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                 nla->nla_len <= remaining;
  }

It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in
nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test
against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the
nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.

A short example illustrating this point is here:

  #include <stdio.h>

  main(void)
  {
          printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int));
  }

...which prints "1".

This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make
a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the
patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

      niu: panic on reset · e808212e
      Santwona Behera authored 
      
[ Upstream commit cff502a3 ]

The reset_task function in the niu driver does not reset the tx and rx
buffers properly. This leads to panic on reset. This patch is a
modified implementation of the previously posted fix.

      ipv6: Fix OOPS in ip6_dst_lookup_tail(). · 4b37352e
      Neil Horman authored 
      
[ Upstream commit e550dfb0 ]

This fixes kernel bugzilla 11469: "TUN with 1024 neighbours:
ip6_dst_lookup_tail NULL crash"

dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point
in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is
the wrong thing to do.  This NULL check exists in other
similar paths and this case was just an oversight.

Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation
here while we're at it.

Based upon a patch by Evgeniy Polyakov.
