2006-02-27[IPSEC]: Kill post_input hook and do NAT-T in esp_input directlyHerbert Xu1-7/+0
The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which we ought to do. However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums. We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :) When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures! I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

2006-02-23[XFRM]: Eliminate refcounting confusion by creating __xfrm_state_put().Herbert Xu2-5/+5
We often just do an atomic_dec(&x->refcnt) on an xfrm_state object because we know there is more than 1 reference remaining and thus we can elide the heavier xfrm_state_put() call. Do this behind an inline function called __xfrm_state_put() so that is more obvious and also to allow us to more cleanly add refcount debugging later.

2006-02-23[NETFILTER]: Fix bridge netfilter related in xfrm_lookupPatrick McHardy1-3/+4
The bridge-netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with dst->ops == NULL to purely bridged packets. When these packets are SNATed and a policy lookup is done, xfrm_lookup crashes because it tries to dereference dst->ops. Change xfrm_lookup not to dereference dst->ops before checking for the DST_NOXFRM flag and set this flag in the fake dst_entry.

2006-02-13[IPSEC]: Fix strange IPsec freeze.Herbert Xu1-1/+3
Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch: there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land, and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2. I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug printks added, I can this happening: ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the middle of negotiating a new SA or something) We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update. Then we loop back to the top Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2) This leads to the endless loop, because we now create a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale (stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0) People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong. I'm grateful for any hints you may have... I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution queueing, we can then do the retry again.

ip_route_me_harder doesn't use the port numbers of the xfrm lookup and uses ip_route_input for non-local addresses which doesn't do a xfrm lookup, ip6_route_me_harder doesn't do a xfrm lookup at all. Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already.

2006-01-03[LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.Trent Jaeger3-44/+201
This patch series implements per packet access control via the extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security associations to label packets. Extensions to the SELinux LSM are included that leverage the patch for this purpose. This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem, pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security association) to send/receive network packets. Patch purpose: The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on the strongly authenticated IPSec security association. Such access controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP address. The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be spoofed. By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism. This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to enforce the access control policy. Patch design approach: The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those policies. A presentation available at www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach. Patch implementation details: On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of the socket and the same security context is required for resultant security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in ipsec-tools). This is enforced in xfrm_state_find. On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket (at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must also match the security association being used. The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec. The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as before. Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is minimal. The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec processing proceeds as in the original case. Testing: The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools. ipsec-tools have been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version 0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation using the security contexts via racoon. The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set security contexts. These programs are also available from me, and contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing this interface. Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel behavior.

2005-12-22[IPSEC]: Fix policy updates missed by socketsDavid S. Miller1-1/+29
The problem is that when new policies are inserted, sockets do not see the update (but all new route lookups do). This bug is related to the SA insertion stale route issue solved recently, and this policy visibility problem can be fixed in a similar way. The fix is to flush out the bundles of all policies deeper than the policy being inserted. Consider beginning state of "outgoing" direction policy list: policy A --> policy B --> policy C --> policy D First, realize that inserting a policy into a list only potentially changes IPSEC routes for that direction. Therefore we need not bother considering the policies for other directions. We need only consider the existing policies in the list we are doing the inserting. Consider new policy "B'", inserted after B. policy A --> policy B --> policy B' --> policy C --> policy D Two rules: 1) If policy A or policy B matched before the insertion, they appear before B' and thus would still match after inserting B' 2) Policy C and D, now "shadowed" and after policy B', potentially contain stale routes because policy B' might be selected instead of them. Therefore we only need flush routes assosciated with policies appearing after a newly inserted policy, if any. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-06-18[IPSEC] Kill spurious hard expire messagesHerbert Xu2-12/+12
This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their respective tables. As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user. Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367. However, it is a quality of implementation issue. As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq context into process context, thus improving their reliability. One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just like SAs that have reached their hard time limits. Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after 30 seconds. This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires after the time is up. In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

It looks like skb_cow_data() does not set proper owner for newly created skb. If we have several fragments for skb and some of them are shared(?) or cloned (like in async IPsec) there might be a situation when we require recreating skb and thus using skb_copy() for it. Newly created skb has neither a destructor nor a socket assotiated with it, which must be copied from the old skb. As far as I can see, current code sets destructor and socket for the first one skb only and uses truesize of the first skb only to increment sk_wmem_alloc value.

2005-05-03[IPSEC]: Store idev entriesHerbert Xu1-23/+2
I found a bug that stopped IPsec/IPv6 from working. About a month ago IPv6 started using rt6i_idev->dev on the cached socket dst entries. If the cached socket dst entry is IPsec, then rt6i_idev will be NULL. Since we want to look at the rt6i_idev of the original route in this case, the easiest fix is to store rt6i_idev in the IPsec dst entry just as we do for a number of other IPv6 route attributes. Unfortunately this means that we need some new code to handle the references to rt6i_idev. That's why this patch is bigger than it would otherwise be. I've also done the same thing for IPv4 since it is conceivable that once these idev attributes start getting used for accounting, we probably need to dereference them for IPv4 IPsec entries too.

2005-05-03[XFRM/RTNETLINK]: Decrement qlen properly in {xfrm_,rt}netlink_rcv().David S. Miller1-1/+3
If we free up a partially processed packet because it's skb->len dropped to zero, we need to decrement qlen because we are dropping out of the top-level loop so it will do the decrement for us. Spotted by Herbert Xu. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The qlen should continue to decrement, even if we pop partially processed SKBs back onto the receive queue. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-05-03[NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.Herbert Xu1-4/+11
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.

2005-05-03[XFRM]: Cleanup xfrm_msg_min and xfrm_dispatchThomas Graf1-37/+36
Converts xfrm_msg_min and xfrm_dispatch to use c99 designated initializers to make greping a little bit easier. Also replaces two hardcoded message type with meaningful names. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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!
