net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-04-24T17:44:54+00:00

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

connector: remove duplicated code in cn_call_callback()

2014-03-03T20:39:20+00:00

There were a couple of patches fixing the same bug that results in duplicated err = 0; assignment. The patch removes one of them. Signed-off-by: Alexey Khoroshilov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

connector: add portid to unicast in addition to broadcasting

This allows replying only to the requestor portid while still supporting broadcasting. Pass 0 to portid for the previous behavior. Signed-off-by: David Fries Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

connector: improved unaligned access error fix

2013-11-14T22:19:20+00:00

In af3e095a1fb4, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned(). Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic. A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes. The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

connector: use 'size' everywhere in cn_netlink_send()

2013-10-02T20:03:50+00:00

We calculated the size for the netlink message buffer as size. Use size in the memcpy() call as well instead of recalculating it. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

connector: use nlmsg_len() to check message length

2013-10-02T20:03:50+00:00

The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v2.6.14+ Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

proc connector: fix info leaks

2013-10-02T20:03:50+00:00

Initialize event_data for all possible message types to prevent leaking kernel stack contents to userland (up to 20 bytes). Also set the flags member of the connector message to 0 to prevent leaking two more stack bytes this way. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v2.6.15+ Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S.

connector: Added coredumping event to the process connector

2013-03-20T17:23:21+00:00

Process connector can now also detect coredumping events. Main aim of patch is get notified at start of coredumping, instead of having to wait for it to finish and then being notified through EXIT event. Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the order of minutes depending on size of coredump, piping and so on.
