2018-10-16netlink: Add answer_flags to netlink_callbackDavid Ahern1-0/+1
With dump filtering we need a way to ensure the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED flag is set on a message back to the user if the data returned is influenced by some input attributes. Normally this can be done as messages are added to the skb, but if the filter results in no data being returned, the user could be confused as to why. This patch adds answer_flags to the netlink_callback allowing dump handlers to set the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED at a minimum in the NLMSG_DONE message ensuring the flag gets back to the user. The netlink_callback space is initialized to 0 via a memset in __netlink_dump_start, so init of the new answer_flags is covered. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-10-08netlink: Add new socket option to enable strict checking on dumpsDavid Ahern1-0/+1
Add a new socket option, NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK, that userspace can use via setsockopt to request strict checking of headers and attributes on dump requests. To get dump features such as kernel side filtering based on data in the header or attributes appended to the dump request, userspace must call setsockopt() for NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK and a non-zero value. Since the netlink sock and its flags are private to the af_netlink code, the strict checking flag is passed to dump handlers via a flag in the netlink_callback struct. For old userspace on new kernel there is no impact as all of the data checks in later patches are wrapped in a check on the new strict flag. For new userspace on old kernel, the setsockopt will fail and even if new userspace sets data in the headers and appended attributes the kernel will silently ignore it. Moving forward when the setsockopt succeeds, the new userspace on old kernel means the dump request can pass an attribute the kernel does not understand. The dump will then fail as the older kernel does not understand it. New userspace on new kernel setting the socket option gets the benefit of the improved data dump. Kernel side the NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK uapi is converted to a generic NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK flag which can potentially be leveraged for tighter checking on the NEW, DEL, and SET commands.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Small follow-up to d74a32acd59a ("xdp: use netlink extended ACK reporting") in order to let drivers all use the same NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD() helper macro for reporting. This also ensures that we consistently add the driver's prefix for dumping the report in user space to indicate that the error message is driver specific and not coming from core code. Furthermore, NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD() now reuses NL_SET_ERR_MSG() and thus makes all macros check the pointer as suggested.

2015-09-09netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copyDaniel Borkmann1-2/+11
When netlink mmap on receive side is the consumer of nf queue data, it can happen that in some edge cases, we write skb shared info into the user space mmap buffer: Assume a possible rx ring frame size of only 4096, and the network skb, which is being zero-copied into the netlink skb, contains page frags with an overall skb->len larger than the linear part of the netlink skb. skb_zerocopy(), which is generic and thus not aware of the fact that shared info cannot be accessed for such skbs then tries to write and fill frags, thus leaking kernel data/pointers and in some corner cases possibly writing out of bounds of the mmap area (when filling the last slot in the ring buffer this way). I.e. the ring buffer slot is then of status NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, has an advertised length larger than 4096, where the linear part is visible at the slot beginning, and the leaked sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) has been written to the beginning of the next slot (also corrupting the struct nl_mmap_hdr slot header incl. status etc), since skb->end points to skb->data + ring->frame_size - NL_MMAP_HDRLEN. The fix adds and lets __netlink_alloc_skb() take the actual needed linear room for the network skb + meta data into account. It's completely irrelevant for non-mmaped netlink sockets, but in case mmap sockets are used, it can be decided whether the available skb_tailroom() is really large enough for the buffer, or whether it needs to internally fallback to a normal alloc_skb(). >From nf queue side, the information whether the destination port is an mmap RX ring is not really available without extra port-to-socket lookup, thus it can only be determined in lower layers i.e. when __netlink_alloc_skb() is called that checks internally for this. I chose to add the extra ldiff parameter as mmap will then still work: We have data_len and hlen in nfqnl_build_packet_message(), data_len is the full length (capped at queue->copy_range) for skb_zerocopy() and hlen some possible part of data_len that needs to be copied; the rem_len variable indicates the needed remaining linear mmap space. The only other workaround in nf queue internally would be after allocation time by f.e. cap'ing the data_len to the skb_tailroom() iff we deal with an mmap skb, but that would 1) expose the fact that we use a mmap skb to upper layers, and 2) trim the skb where we otherwise could just have moved the full skb into the normal receive queue. After the patch, in my test case the ring slot doesn't fit and therefore shows NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, where a full skb carries all the data and thus needs to be picked up via recv().

2015-05-09netlink: allow to listen "all" netnsNicolas Dichtel1-0/+2
More accurately, listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the netlink socket is opened. For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data. With this patch, a daemon needs only one socket to listen many netns. This is useful when the number of netns is high. Because 0 is a valid value for a nsid, the field nsid_is_set indicates if the field nsid is valid or not. skb->cb is initialized to 0 on skb allocation, thus we are sure that we will never send a nsid 0 by error to the userland.

2014-12-27netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbindJohannes Berg1-2/+2
Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace. To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket to the bind/unbind functions. Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected. This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a different namespace will never receive any notifications from such a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid clients like that.

2014-06-02netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinationsEric W. Biederman1-3/+4
It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.

Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail.

2012-10-07netlink: add reference of module in netlink_dump_startGao feng1-4/+16
I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the same time. It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module inet_diag. I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to. Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo. Change From v3: change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and Eric. Change From v2: delete netlink_dump_done,and call module_put in netlink_dump and netlink_sock_destruct.

Since (9f00d97 netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create), linux/netlink.h includes linux/module.h because of the use of THIS_MODULE. Use linux/export.h instead, as suggested by Stephen Rothwell, which is significantly smaller and defines THIS_MODULES. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-09-10netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman1-7/+7
It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-09-08netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_createPablo Neira Ayuso1-3/+10

2012-09-08netlink: kill netlink_set_nonrootPablo Neira Ayuso1-5/+4
Replace netlink_set_nonroot by one new field `flags' in struct netlink_kernel_cfg that is passed to netlink_kernel_create. This patch also renames NL_NONROOT_* to NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_* since now the flags field in nl_table is generic (so we can add more flags if needed in the future). Also adjust all callers in the net-next tree to use these flags instead of netlink_set_nonroot. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-09-07scm: Don't use struct ucred in NETLINK_CB and struct scm_cookie.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+2
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.

2012-08-14netlink: Make the sending netlink socket availabe in NETLINK_CBEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
The sending socket of an skb is already available by it's port id in the NETLINK_CB. If you want to know more like to examine the credentials on the sending socket you have to look up the sending socket by it's port id and all of the needed functions and data structures are static inside of af_netlink.c. So do the simple thing and pass the sending socket to the receivers in the NETLINK_CB. I intend to use this to get the user namespace of the sending socket in inet_diag so that I can report uids in the context of the process who opened the socket, the same way I report uids in the contect of the process who opens files.

2012-06-29netlink: add nlk->netlink_bind hook for module auto-loadingPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+1
This patch adds a hook in the binding path of netlink. This is used by ctnetlink to allow module autoloading for the case in which one user executes: conntrack -E So far, this resulted in nfnetlink loaded, but not nf_conntrack_netlink. I have received in the past many complains on this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-06-29netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_createPablo Neira Ayuso1-5/+10
This patch adds the following structure: struct netlink_kernel_cfg { unsigned int groups; void (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb); struct mutex *cb_mutex; }; That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations for netlink kernel sockets. I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

2012-05-08netfilter: remove ip_queue supportPablo Neira Ayuso1-1/+1
This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced user-space packet queueing mechanism. This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation. Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this with some strong argument.

2012-02-26netlink: allow to pass data pointer to netlink_dump_start() callbackPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+2
This patch allows you to pass a data pointer that can be accessed from the dump callback. Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that may handle lots of conntrack entries. We can save precious cycles by skipping the conversion to TLV format of conntrack entries that are not interesting for user-space. More specifically, ctnetlink will include one operation to allow to filter the dumping of conntrack entries by ctmark values.
