netfilter: ipset: fix race condition in ipset save, swap and delete

2016-03-28T15:57:45Z

This fix adds a new reference counter (ref_netlink) for the struct ip_set. The other reference counter (ref) can be swapped out by ip_set_swap and we need a separate counter to keep track of references for netlink events like dump. Using the same ref counter for dump causes a race condition which can be demonstrated by the following script: ipset create hash_ip1 hash:ip family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 500000 \ counters ipset create hash_ip2 hash:ip family inet hashsize 300000 maxelem 500000 \ counters ipset create hash_ip3 hash:ip family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 500000 \ counters ipset save & ipset swap hash_ip3 hash_ip2 ipset destroy hash_ip3 /* will crash the machine */ Swap will exchange the values of ref so destroy will see ref = 0 instead of ref = 1. With this fix in place swap will not succeed because ipset save still has ref_netlink on the set (ip_set_swap doesn't swap ref_netlink). Both delete and swap will error out if ref_netlink != 0 on the set. Note: The changes to *_head functions is because previously we would increment ref whenever we called these functions, we don't do that anymore.

netfilter: xtables: don't hook tables by default

2016-03-02T19:05:24Z

delay hook registration until the table is being requested inside a namespace. Historically, a particular table (iptables mangle, ip6tables filter, etc) was registered on module load. When netns support was added to iptables only the ip/ip6tables ruleset was made namespace aware, not the actual hook points. This means f.e. that when ipt_filter table/module is loaded on a system, then each namespace on that system has an (empty) iptables filter ruleset. In other words, if a namespace sends a packet, such skb is 'caught' by netfilter machinery and fed to hooking points for that table (i.e. INPUT, FORWARD, etc). Thanks to Eric Biederman, hooks are no longer global, but per namespace. This means that we can avoid allocation of empty ruleset in a namespace and defer hook registration until we need the functionality. We register a tables hook entry points ONLY in the initial namespace. When an iptables get/setockopt is issued inside a given namespace, we check if the table is found in the per-namespace list. If not, we attempt to find it in the initial namespace, and, if found, create an empty default table in the requesting namespace and register the needed hooks. Hook points are destroyed only once namespace is deleted, there is no 'usage count' (it makes no sense since there is no 'remove table' operation in xtables api).

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf-next

2015-12-18T20:37:42Z

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains the first batch of Netfilter updates for the upcoming 4.5 kernel. This batch contains userspace netfilter header compilation fixes, support for packet mangling in nf_tables, the new tracing infrastructure for nf_tables and cgroup2 support for iptables. More specifically, they are: 1) Two patches to include dependencies in our netfilter userspace headers to resolve compilation problems, from Mikko Rapeli. 2) Four comestic cleanup patches for the ebtables codebase, from Ian Morris. 3) Remove duplicate include in the netfilter reject infrastructure, from Stephen Hemminger. 4) Two patches to simplify the netfilter defragmentation code for IPv6, patch from Florian Westphal. 5) Fix root ownership of /proc/net netfilter for unpriviledged net namespaces, from Philip Whineray. 6) Get rid of unused fields in struct nft_pktinfo, from Florian Westphal. 7) Add mangling support to our nf_tables payload expression, from Patrick McHardy. 8) Introduce a new netlink-based tracing infrastructure for nf_tables, from Florian Westphal. 9) Change setter functions in nfnetlink_log to be void, from Rami Rosen. 10) Add netns support to the cttimeout infrastructure. 11) Add cgroup2 support to iptables, from Tejun Heo. 12) Introduce nfnl_dereference_protected() in nfnetlink, from Florian. 13) Add support for mangling pkttype in the nf_tables meta expression, also from Florian. BTW, I need that you pull net into net-next, I have another batch that requires changes that I don't yet see in net. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_ct_sctp: move ip_ct_sctp away from UAPI

2015-11-23T16:54:42Z

ip_ct_sctp is an internal structure, embedded by the union nf_conntrack_proto to store sctp-specific information at conntrack entries. It has no business with UAPI. This patch moves it from UAPI to a saner place, together with similar structs for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Acked-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: ipset: Fix extension alignment

2015-11-07T10:21:47Z

The data extensions in ipset lacked the proper memory alignment and thus could lead to kernel crash on several architectures. Therefore the structures have been reorganized and alignment attributes added where needed. The patch was tested on armv7h by Gerhard Wiesinger and on x86_64, sparc64 by Jozsef Kadlecsik.
