l2tp: fix info leak in l2tp_ip6_recvmsg()

2013-05-01T16:46:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit b860d3cc62877fad02863e2a08efff69a19382d2 ] The L2TP code for IPv6 fails to initialize the l2tp_conn_id member of struct sockaddr_l2tpip6 and therefore leaks four bytes kernel stack in l2tp_ip6_recvmsg() in case msg_name is set. Initialize l2tp_conn_id with 0 to avoid the info leak. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

l2tp: Restore socket refcount when sendmsg succeeds

2013-03-20T20:10:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8b82547e33e85fc24d4d172a93c796de1fefa81a ] The sendmsg() syscall handler for PPPoL2TP doesn't decrease the socket reference counter after successful transmissions. Any successful sendmsg() call from userspace will then increase the reference counter forever, thus preventing the kernel's session and tunnel data from being freed later on. The problem only happens when writing directly on L2TP sockets. PPP sockets attached to L2TP are unaffected as the PPP subsystem uses pppol2tp_xmit() which symmetrically increase/decrease reference counters. This patch adds the missing call to sock_put() before returning from pppol2tp_sendmsg(). Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

l2tp: dont play with skb->truesize

l2tp: correctly handle ancillary data in the ip6 recv path

2013-01-31T18:53:09+00:00

l2tp_ip6 is incorrectly using the IPv4-specific ip_cmsg_recv to handle ancillary data. This means that socket options such as IPV6_RECVPKTINFO are not honoured in userspace. Convert l2tp_ip6 to use the IPv6-specific handler. Ref: net/ipv6/udp.c Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: James Chapman Signed-off-by: Chris Elston Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: rename datagram_send_ctl and datagram_recv_ctl

2013-01-31T18:53:08+00:00

The datagram_*_ctl functions in net/ipv6/datagram.c are IPv6-specific. Since datagram_send_ctl is publicly exported it should be appropriately named to reflect the fact that it's for IPv6 only. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: James Chapman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

l2tp: prevent l2tp_tunnel_delete racing with userspace close

2013-01-29T20:43:02+00:00

If a tunnel socket is created by userspace, l2tp hooks the socket destructor in order to clean up resources if userspace closes the socket or crashes. It also caches a pointer to the struct sock for use in the data path and in the netlink interface. While it is safe to use the cached sock pointer in the data path, where the skb references keep the socket alive, it is not safe to use it elsewhere as such access introduces a race with userspace closing the socket. In particular, l2tp_tunnel_delete is prone to oopsing if a multithreaded userspace application closes a socket at the same time as sending a netlink delete command for the tunnel. This patch fixes this oops by forcing l2tp_tunnel_delete to explicitly look up a tunnel socket held by userspace using sockfd_lookup().

l2tp: fix oops in l2tp_eth_create() error path

2012-11-03T01:56:35+00:00

When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the 32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path. However, the l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the session teardown. This results in an oops. To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path. Signed-off-by: Tom Parkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
