net/rds: fix possible cp null dereference
cp might be null, calling cp->cp_conn would produce null dereference
[Simon Horman adds:]
Analysis:
* cp is a parameter of __rds_rdma_map and is not reassigned.
* The following call-sites pass a NULL cp argument to __rds_rdma_map()
- rds_get_mr()
- rds_get_mr_for_dest
* Prior to the code above, the following assumes that cp may be NULL
(which is indicative, but could itself be unnecessary)
trans_private = rs->rs_transport->get_mr(
sg, nents, rs, &mr->r_key, cp ? cp->cp_conn : NULL,
args->vec.addr, args->vec.bytes,
need_odp ? ODP_ZEROBASED : ODP_NOT_NEEDED);
* The code modified by this patch is guarded by IS_ERR(trans_private),
where trans_private is assigned as per the previous point in this analysis.
The only implementation of get_mr that I could locate is rds_ib_get_mr()
which can return an ERR_PTR if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
* ret is set to PTR_ERR(trans_private).
rds_ib_get_mr can return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
Thus ret may be -ENODEV in which case the code in question will execute.
Conclusion:
* cp may be NULL at the point where this patch adds a check;
this patch does seem to address a possible bugShow less |

netfilter: nf_tables: reject new basechain after table flag update
When dormant flag is toggled, hooks are disabled in the commit phase by
iterating over current chains in table (existing and new).
The following configuration allows for an inconsistent state:
add table x
add chain x y { type filter hook input priority 0; }
add table x { flags dormant; }
add chain x w { type filter hook input priority 1; }
which triggers the following warning when trying to unregister chain w
which is already unregistered.

bpf, sockmap: Prevent lock inversion deadlock in map delete elem
syzkaller started using corpuses where a BPF tracing program deletes
elements from a sockmap/sockhash map. Because BPF tracing programs can be
invoked from any interrupt context, locks taken during a map_delete_elem
operation must be hardirq-safe. Otherwise a deadlock due to lock inversion
is possible, as reported by lockdep:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&htab->buckets[i].lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&host->lock);
lock(&htab->buckets[i].lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&host->lock);
Locks in sockmap are hardirq-unsafe by design. We expects elements to be
deleted from sockmap/sockhash only in task (normal) context with interrupts
enabled, or in softirq context.
Detect when map_delete_elem operation is invoked from a context which is
_not_ hardirq-unsafe, that is interrupts are disabled, and bail out with an
error.
Note that map updates are not affected by this issue. BPF verifier does not
allow updating sockmap/sockhash from a BPF tracing program today.Show less |

net/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak
syzbot found that tcf_skbmod_dump() was copying four bytes

The issue here is that 'struct tc_skbmod' has a four bytes hole.
We need to clear the structure before filling fields.

If packets are GROed with fraglist they might be segmented later on and

be reused as-is. This is an issue as their destructor was removed in
skb_gro_receive_list but not the reference to their socket, and then
they can't be orphaned. Fix this by also removing the reference to the
socket.

ax25: fix use-after-free bugs caused by ax25_ds_del_timer
When the ax25 device is detaching, the ax25_dev_device_down()
calls ax25_ds_del_timer() to cleanup the slave_timer. When
the timer handler is running, the ax25_ds_del_timer() that
calls del_timer() in it will return directly. As a result,
the use-after-free bugs could happen, one of the scenarios
is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)

ax25_dev_device_down() |
ax25_ds_del_timer() |

In order to mitigate bugs, when the device is detaching, use

ipv6: Fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done().
syzkaller reported infinite recursive calls of fib6_dump_done() during
netlink socket destruction. [1]
From the log, syzkaller sent an AF_UNSPEC RTM_GETROUTE message, and then
the response was generated. The following recvmmsg() resumed the dump
for IPv6, but the first call of inet6_dump_fib() failed at kzalloc() due
to the fault injection. [0]
12:01:34 executing program 3:
r0 = socket$nl_route(0x10, 0x3, 0x0)
sendmsg$nl_route(r0, ... snip ...)
recvmmsg(r0, ... snip ...) (fail_nth: 8)
Here, fib6_dump_done() was set to nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done, and the next call
of inet6_dump_fib() set it to nlk_sk(sk)->cb.args[3]. syzkaller stopped
receiving the response halfway through, and finally netlink_sock_destruct()
called nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done().
fib6_dump_done() calls fib6_dump_end() and nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done() if it
is still not NULL. fib6_dump_end() rewrites nlk_sk(sk)->cb.done() by
nlk_sk(sk)->cb.args[3], but it has the same function, not NULL, calling
itself recursively and hitting the stack guard page.
To avoid the issue, let's set the destructor after kzalloc().

mlxbf_gige: stop interface during shutdown
The mlxbf_gige driver intermittantly encounters a NULL pointer
exception while the system is shutting down via "reboot" command.
The mlxbf_driver will experience an exception right after executing
its shutdown() method. One example of this exception is:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070

During system shutdown, the mlxbf_gige driver's shutdown() is always executed.
However, the driver's stop() method will only execute if networking interface
configuration logic within the Linux distribution has been setup to do so.
If shutdown() executes but stop() does not execute, NAPI remains enabled
and this can lead to an exception if NAPI is scheduled while the hardware
interface has only been partially deinitialized.
The networking interface managed by the mlxbf_gige driver must be properly
stopped during system shutdown so that IFF_UP is cleared, the hardware
interface is put into a clean state, and NAPI is fully deinitialized.Show less |
