unix: correctly track in-flight fds in sending process user_struct

2016-02-25T10:51:00Z

commit 415e3d3e90ce9e18727e8843ae343eda5a58fad6 upstream. The commit referenced in the Fixes tag incorrectly accounted the number of in-flight fds over a unix domain socket to the original opener of the file-descriptor. This allows another process to arbitrary deplete the original file-openers resource limit for the maximum of open files. Instead the sending processes and its struct cred should be credited. To do so, we add a reference counted struct user_struct pointer to the scm_fp_list and use it to account for the number of inflight unix fds.

scm.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-23T05:51:09Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next. An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that code. Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first argument. Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

net: fix incorrect credentials passing

2013-04-20T20:56:42Z

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Eric W. Biederman Cc: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: David S.

scm: Stop passing struct cred

2013-04-07T22:58:55Z

Now that uids and gids are completely encapsulated in kuid_t and kgid_t we no longer need to pass struct cred which allowed us to test both the uid and the user namespace for equality. Passing struct cred potentially allows us to pass the entire group list as BSD does but I don't believe the cost of cache line misses justifies retaining code for a future potential application.

scm: Don't use struct ucred in NETLINK_CB and struct scm_cookie.

2012-09-07T18:42:05Z

Passing uids and gids on NETLINK_CB from a process in one user namespace to a process in another user namespace can result in the wrong uid or gid being presented to userspace. Avoid that problem by passing kuids and kgids instead. - define struct scm_creds for use in scm_cookie and netlink_skb_parms that holds uid and gid information in kuid_t and kgid_t. - Modify scm_set_cred to fill out scm_creds by heand instead of using cred_to_ucred to fill out struct ucred. This conversion ensures userspace does not get incorrect uid or gid values to look at. - Modify scm_recv to convert from struct scm_creds to struct ucred before copying credential values to userspace. - Modify __scm_send to populate struct scm_creds on in the scm_cookie, instead of just copying struct ucred from userspace. - Modify netlink_sendmsg to copy scm_creds instead of struct ucred into the NETLINK_CB.

af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]

2012-08-21T21:53:01Z

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default

2011-09-28T17:29:50Z

Since commit 7361c36c5224 (af_unix: Allow credentials to work across user and pid namespaces) af_unix performance dropped a lot. This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(), and release them in read(), usually done from another process, eventually from another cpu. This triggers false sharing. # Events: 154K cycles # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... .................. ......................... # 10.40% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_pid 8.60% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unix_stream_recvmsg 7.87% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unix_stream_sendmsg 6.11% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_raw_spin_lock 4.95% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unix_scm_to_skb 4.87% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pid_nr_ns 4.34% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cred_to_ucred 2.39% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unix_destruct_scm 2.24% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sub_preempt_count 1.75% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fget_light 1.51% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mutex_lock_interruptible_slowpath 1.42% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sock_alloc_send_pskb This patch includes SCM_CREDENTIALS information in a af_unix message/skb only if requested by the sender, [man 7 unix for details how to include ancillary data using sendmsg() system call] Note: This might break buggy applications that expected SCM_CREDENTIAL from an unaware write() system call, and receiver not using SO_PASSCRED socket option. If SOCK_PASSCRED is set on source or destination socket, we still include credentials for mere write() syscalls.
