2006-05-22[PATCH] NETFILTER: SNMP NAT: fix memory corruption (CVE-2006-2444)Patrick McHardy
CVE-2006-2444 - Potential remote DoS in SNMP NAT helper. Fix memory corruption caused by snmp_trap_decode: - When snmp_trap_decode fails before the id and address are allocated, the pointers contain random memory, but are freed by the caller (snmp_parse_mangle). - When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating just the ID, it tries to free both address and ID, but the address pointer still contains random memory. The caller frees both ID and random memory again. - When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating both, it frees both, and the callers frees both again. The corruption can be triggered remotely when the ip_nat_snmp_basic module is loaded and traffic on port 161 or 162 is NATed. Found by multiple testcases of the trap-app and trap-enc groups of the PROTOS c06-snmpv1 testsuite. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>

2006-05-20[PATCH] SCTP: Validate the parameter length in HB-ACK chunk (CVE-2006-1857)Vladislav Yasevich
If SCTP receives a badly formatted HB-ACK chunk, it is possible that we may access invalid memory and potentially have a buffer overflow. We should really make sure that the chunk format is what we expect, before attempting to touch the data.

2006-05-20[PATCH] SCTP: Respect the real chunk length when walking parameters ↵Vladislav Yasevich
(CVE-2006-1858) When performing bound checks during the parameter processing, we want to use the real chunk and paramter lengths for bounds instead of the rounded ones. This prevents us from potentially walking of the end if the chunk length was miscalculated. We still use rounded lengths when advancing the pointer. This was found during a conformance test that changed the chunk length without modifying parameters. (Vlad noted elsewhere: the most you'd overflow is 3 bytes, so problem is parameter dependent).

2006-05-20[PATCH] ptrace_attach: fix possible deadlock schenario with irqsLinus Torvalds
Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing. Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at triggering it ;) Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.

2006-05-20[PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pagesChristoph Lameter
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out the page. However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the ptes pointing to the page. We need to first unmap the ptes before checking for PageDirty(). If unmap is successful then the page count of the page will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly. This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages. Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However, it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed. The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code so that this is no longer necessary.

2006-05-20[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmemLee Schermerhorn
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once. In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages. Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent migrations. This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested. I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

2006-05-20[PATCH] VIA quirk fixup, additional PCI IDsChris Wedgwood
An earlier commit (75cf7456dd87335f574dcd53c4ae616a2ad71a11) changed an overly-zealous PCI quirk to only poke those VIA devices that need it. However, some PCI devices were not included in what I hope is now the full list. Consequently we're failing to run the quirk on all machines which need it, causing IRQ routing failures. This should I hope correct this. Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@masoud.ir> for pointing this out and testing the fix.

2006-05-20[PATCH] limit request_fn recursionJens Axboe
Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met, when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn -> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun. Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how blk_start_queue() works. This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

2006-05-20[PATCH] PCI: correctly allocate return buffers for osc callsKristen Accardi
The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

2006-05-20[PATCH] Netfilter: do_add_counters race, possible oops or info leak ↵Chris Wright
(CVE-2006-0039) Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below (t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE() would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or from another VPS) via counter increments. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191698 Cc: Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com> Cc: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> (chrisw: rebase of Kirill's patch to 2.6.16.16) Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-05-20[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error pathJan Niehusmann
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb filesystem. In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499 corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being set after freeing the slab. In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found ERESTARTSYS), I found the following: if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) { /* * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the * request from the recvq/xmitq. */ smb_lock_server(server); if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) { list_del_init(&req->rq_queue); smb_rput(req); } smb_unlock_server(server); } [...] if (signal_pending(current)) req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS; I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted code. Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS). If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it. I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev pointers.

2006-05-20[PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() raceTrond Myklebust
sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the multi-thread case. Thread 1 Thread 2 sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX) sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN) If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock. Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock. This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the lockd handling of flock.

2006-05-20[PATCH] USB: ub oops in block_ueventPete Zaitcev
In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer, but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users to pin device structures. The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses device structures (kobjects actually).

2006-05-20[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cardsCraig Brind
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames in new transmissions. Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this buffer on to the network. Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used. Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change "obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are only to the Rhine I code path. The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual log messages.

2006-05-09[PATCH] SCTP: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled ↵Vladislav Yasevich
DATA. (CVE-2006-2274) There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message. The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message. When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely. Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link things using frag_list.

2006-05-01[PATCH] x86/PAE: Fix pte_clear for the >4GB RAM caseZachary Amsden
Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug, so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds are not affected. The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it. Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the processor as well). On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed, and should never be dereferenced again. But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above 4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This introduces the bug. The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause total system failure or just plain undefined behavior. These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also, they are nearly impossible to debug.

2006-05-01[PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regressionAndrew Morton
Repair /proc/devices early-termination regression. 2.6.16 broke /proc/devices. An application often gets an EOF before the end of data is reached, if that application uses a series of short read(2)s to access the data. I have used read buffers of varying sizes with varying degrees of unsuccess (larger sizes get further into the data than smaller sizes, following a simple pattern). It appears that the only safe way to get the data is to use a single read buffer larger than all the data in /proc/devices. The following example demonstates the problem: # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1 Character devices: 1 mem 27+0 records in 27+0 records out This patch is a backport of the fix recently accepted to Linus's tree: commit 68eef3b4791572ecb70249c7fb145bb3742dd899 [PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regression It replaces the complex, state-machine algorithm introduced in 2.6.16 with a simple algorithm, modeled on the implementation of /proc/interrupts.
