netlink: pad nla_memcpy dest buffer with zeroes

2015-03-31T18:07:24Z

This is especially important in cases where the kernel allocs a new structure and expects a field to be set from a netlink attribute. If such attribute is shorter than expected, the rest of the field is left containing previous data. When such field is read back by the user space, kernel memory content is leaked.

lib/nlattr.c: remove redundant include

2015-02-13T02:54:16Z

nlattr.c doesn't seem to rely on anything from netdevice.h. Removing it yields identical objdump -d output for each of {allyes,allno,def}config, and eliminates more than 200 lines from the generated dependency file.

lib/nlattr.c: move EXPORT_SYMBOL after functions

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

2014-06-02T18:16:11Z

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

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

2014-04-01T19:25:02Z

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.

lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

2012-03-07T20:04:04Z

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
