commit 77238f2b upstream. I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS attack against the local machine by non-root users. How to reproduce: 1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it. 2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets until the connection backlog is full-filled. 3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the system hangs. PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.) int main(void) { int ret; int csd; int lsd; struct sockaddr_un sun; /* make an abstruct name address (*) */ memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun)); sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX; sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid()); /* create the listening socket and shutdown */ lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); listen(lsd, 1); shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR); /* connect loop */ alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */ for (;;) { csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); if (-1 == ret) { perror("connect()"); break; } puts("Connection OK"); } return 0; } (*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace. If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because of context switches in the file system layer. Why this happens: Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and just retries calling the latter forever. Patch: The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED. Signed-off-by:

commit d50bae33 upstream. "b43: Fix PPC crash in rfkill polling on unload" fixed the bug reported in Bugzilla No. 14181; however, it introduced a new bug. Whenever the radio switch was turned off, it was necessary to unload and reload the driver for it to recognize the switch again. This patch fixes both the original bug in #14181 and the bug introduced by the previous patch. It must be stated, however, that if there is a BCM4306/3 with an rfkill switch (not yet proven), then the driver will need an unload/reload cycle to turn the device back on. Signed-off-by:

commit 21279cfa upstream. The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by /sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as the dest_keyring member. keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring() to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount. The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to show up as the key is destroyed lazily. To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from. This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to: #OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... #====== ======= =============== =============== =============================== create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display} negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u and then doing: keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u && keyctl list @u; do keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u; sleep 31; keyctl list @u; done which will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than %S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID. Reported-by:

commit 497fb54f upstream. acpi_get_pci_dev() may be called for a non-PCI device, in which case it should return NULL. However, it assumes that every handle it finds in the ACPI CA name space, between given device handle and the PCI root bridge handle, corresponds to a PCI-to-PCI bridge with an existing secondary bus. For this reason, when it finds a struct pci_dev object corresponding to one of them, it doesn't check if its 'subordinate' field is a valid pointer. This obviously leads to a NULL pointer dereference if acpi_get_pci_dev() is called for a non-PCI device with a PCI parent which is not a bridge. To fix this issue make acpi_get_pci_dev() check if pdev->subordinate is not NULL for every device it finds on the path between the root bridge and the device it's supposed to get to and return NULL if the "target" device cannot be found. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14129 (worked in 2.6.30, regression in 2.6.31) Signed-off-by:

commit 9f0d793b upstream. fsnotify_add_mark is supposed to add a mark to the g_list and i_list and to set the group and inode for the mark. fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry uses the fact that ->group != NULL to know if this group should be destroyed or if it's already been done. But fsnotify_add_mark sets the group and inode before it actually adds the mark to the i_list and g_list. This can result in a race in inotify, it requires 3 threads. sys_inotify_add_watch("file") sys_inotify_add_watch("file") sys_inotify_rm_watch([a]) inotify_update_watch() inotify_new_watch() inotify_add_to_idr() ^--- returns wd = [a] inotfiy_update_watch() inotify_new_watch() inotify_add_to_idr() fsnotify_add_mark() ^--- returns wd = [b] returns to userspace; inotify_idr_find([a]) ^--- gives us the pointer from task 1 fsnotify_add_mark() ^--- this is going to set the mark->group and mark->inode fields, but will return -EEXIST because of the race with [b]. fsnotify_destroy_mark() ^--- since ->group != NULL we call back into inotify_freeing_mark() which calls inotify_remove_from_idr([a]) since fsnotify_add_mark() failed we call: inotify_remove_from_idr([a]) <------WHOOPS it's not in the idr, this could have been any entry added later! The fix is to make sure we don't set mark->group until we are sure the mark is on the inode and fsnotify_add_mark will return success. Signed-off-by:

commit d39b7dd1 upstream. Not a single line of actual code in the function was really fundamentally correct. Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that format. This tries to do better. Acked-by:

commit 81766741 upstream. Restoring %ebp after the call to audit_syscall_exit() is not only unnecessary (because the register didn't get clobbered), but in the sysenter case wasn't even doing the right thing: It loaded %ebp from a location below the top of stack (RBP < ARGOFFSET), i.e. arbitrary kernel data got passed back to user mode in the register.

commit 32c5fc10 upstream. In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map), which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail. That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%. But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown. Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong. Signed-off-by:

commit 89a86402 upstream. Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

commit 036ed8ba upstream. A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized incorrectly. - n_val is being loaded with m_val. - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long. - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used. Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value. Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode and the bau will not operate. Signed-off-by:

commit 9b1ce526 upstream. When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames. A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients (especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the typo in the address comparison statement. Signed-off-by:

commit 246eb7f0 upstream. In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled. The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were eventually re-enabled later. On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it. As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of any actual bugs triggered by this. It's primarily a correctness/consistency fix. This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning. Reported-by:

commit e9024a05 upstream. On a 64-bit kernel, skb->tail is an offset, not a pointer. The libertas usb driver passes it to usb_fill_bulk_urb() anyway, causing interesting crashes. Fix that by using skb->data instead. This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice when dma_map_single() fails and return the error to its caller as it should. In fact it _can't_ currently return the error, since it returns void. So this problem was showing up only at unmap time, after we'd already suffered memory corruption by doing DMA to a bogus address.

commit 3c77d513 upstream. This patch presents a fix for the autosuspend feature implementation in sierra usb serial driver for function sierra_send_setup(). Because it is possible to call sierra_send_setup() before sierra_open() or after sierra_close() we added a get/put interface activity to assure that the usb control can happen even when the device is autosuspended.

commit 3c7d76e3 upstream. We create a dummy struct kernel_param on the stack for parsing each array element, but we didn't initialize the flags word. This matters for arrays of type "bool", where the flag indicates if it really is an array of bools or unsigned int (old-style). Reported-by:

commit 65afac7d upstream. e180a6b7 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers accessing random memory. Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable. Reported-by:
