netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process name

2014-07-11T12:33:57Z

[ Upstream commit bfc5184b69cf9eeb286137640351c650c27f118a ] Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes. Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam. The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the triggering command name to implicate the buggy program. [v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.] Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt Signed-off-by: David S. Miller [bwh: Add #include of for definition of struct task_struct, as in 3.2 it doesn't get included indirectly on all architectures. Thanks to Guenter Roeck for debugging this.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

netlink: don't compare the nul-termination in nla_strcmp

2014-04-30T15:23:17Z

[ Upstream commit 8b7b932434f5eee495b91a2804f5b64ebb2bc835 ] nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison. int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len); However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination. Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

netlink: validate NLA_MSECS length

2011-11-04T21:47:34Z

L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message. Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the size properly. Cc: Thomas Graf Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fix nla_policy_len to actually _iterate_ over the policy

2011-02-28T20:38:25Z

Currently nla_policy_len always returns n * NLA_HDRLEN: It loops, but does not advance it's iterator. NLA_UNSPEC == 0 does not contain a .len in any policy. Trivially fixed by adding p++. Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args

2010-11-16T17:52:32Z

The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.

nlattr: Fix build error with NET off

2009-03-11T15:18:32Z

We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on NET because the target object is sk_buff. This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET. Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work. Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to lib

2009-03-04T06:53:30Z

Netlink attribute parsing may be used even if CONFIG_NET is not set. Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
