2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Extend netfilter logging APIHarald Welte1-41/+52
This patch is in preparation to nfnetlink_log: - loggers now have to register struct nf_logger instead of nf_logfn - nf_log_unregister() replaced by nf_log_unregister_pf() and nf_log_unregister_logger() - add comment to ip[6]t_LOG.h to assure nobody redefines flags - add /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log to tell user which logger is currently registered for which address family - if user has configured logging, but no logging backend (logger) is available, always spit a message to syslog, not just the first time. - split ip[6]t_LOG.c into two parts: Backend: Always try to register as logger for the respective address family Frontend: Always log via nf_log_packet() API - modify all users of nf_log_packet() to accomodate additional argument Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Add "nfnetlink_queue" netfilter queue handler over nfnetlinkHarald Welte3-4/+78
- Add new nfnetlink_queue module - Add new ipt_NFQUEUE and ip6t_NFQUEUE modules to access queue numbers 1-65535 - Mark ip_queue and ip6_queue Kconfig options as OBSOLETE - Update feature-removal-schedule to remove ip[6]_queue in December Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Core changes required by upcoming nfnetlink_queue codeHarald Welte1-1/+2
- split netfiler verdict in 16bit verdict and 16bit queue number - add 'queuenum' argument to nf_queue_outfn_t and its users ip[6]_queue - move NFNL_SUBSYS_ definitions from enum to #define - introduce autoloading for nfnetlink subsystem modules - add MODULE_ALIAS_NFNL_SUBSYS macro - add nf_unregister_queue_handlers() to register all handlers for a given nf_queue_outfn_t - add more verbose DEBUGP macro definition to nfnetlink.c - make nfnetlink_subsys_register fail if subsys already exists - add some more comments and debug statements to nfnetlink.c Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Move reroute-after-queue code up to the nf_queue layer.Harald Welte1-24/+0
The rerouting functionality is required by the core, therefore it has to be implemented by the core and not in individual queue handlers. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NETLINK]: Add properly module refcounting for kernel netlink sockets.Harald Welte1-1/+1
- Remove bogus code for compiling netlink as module - Add module refcounting support for modules implementing a netlink protocol - Add support for autoloading modules that implement a netlink protocol as soon as someone opens a socket for that protocol Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Rename skb_ip_make_writable() to skb_make_writable()Harald Welte1-1/+1
There is nothing IPv4-specific in it. In fact, it was already used by IPv6, too... Upcoming nfnetlink_queue code will use it for any kind of packet. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: reduce netfilter sk_buff enlargementHarald Welte3-5/+2
As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff. The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic testing on my notebook and it seems to work. The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space. Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code overloads pkt_type :( The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe to remove it. - remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code - don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die. - remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes - move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-23[NETFILTER]: Fix HW checksum handling in ip_queue/ip6_queuePatrick McHardy1-0/+7
The checksum needs to be filled in on output, after mangling a packet ip_summed needs to be reset. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-06-21[NETFILTER]: Fix ip6t_LOG sit tunnel loggingPatrick McHardy1-35/+19
Sit tunnel logging is currently broken: MAC=01:23:45:67:89:ab->01:23:45:47:89:ac TUNNEL=123.123. 0.123-> 12.123. 6.123 Apart from the broken IP address, MAC addresses are printed differently for sit tunnels than for everything else.

2005-05-03[NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.Herbert Xu1-11/+9
Let's recap the problem. The current asynchronous netlink kernel message processing is vulnerable to these attacks: 1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits before they're processed. This may confuse/disable the next netlink user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may receive the responses to the attacker's messages. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. c) Restrict/prohibit binding. 2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket, it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily long period of time. If this is successfully exploited it could also be used to hold rtnl forever. Proposed solutions: a) Synchronous processing. b) Stream mode socket. Firstly let's cross off solution c). It only solves the first problem and it has user-visible impacts. In particular, it'll break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate with specific netlink addresses (pid's). So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus SOCK_STREAM for netlink. For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend my time working on other things. However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the stream mode solution: 1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable. 2) Inefficient use of resources. This is especially true for rtnetlink since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers. The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things. 3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel netlink receive queue. The attacker simply fills the receive socket with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue. The attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop. Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however it is pretty messy. In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement stream mode netlink at some point. In the mean time, here is a patch that implements synchronous processing.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds25-0/+6905
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
