      audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2) · 75c0371a
      Pavel Emelyanov authored 
      From:	Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

This patch is based on the one from Thomas.

The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes 
the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from 
the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) 
uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool 
doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates 
it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one.

That's the preamble.

The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees
that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead
it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free
id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent
to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be)
in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then
the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy
and its socket will be bound to another id.

The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys,
that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It
will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be 
got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg.
The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the
decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only.

Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the
kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid
as well.

A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later 
be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use 
pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still 
uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in
the audit_filter_syscall.

      [NET]: Fix permissions of /proc/net · 4f42c288
      Andre Noll authored 
      commit e9720acd ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3))
broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev.

This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was
introduced in that commit.

Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net
After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net

This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes
ganglia happy again.

Pavel Emelyanov says:

	This also broke the postfix, as it was reported in bug #10286
	and described in detail by Benjamin.

      [SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access · 270637ab
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

      [NETFILTER]: ipt_recent: sanity check hit count · d0ebf133
      Daniel Hokka Zakrisson authored 
      If a rule using ipt_recent is created with a hit count greater than
ip_pkt_list_tot, the rule will never match as it cannot keep track
of enough timestamps. This patch makes ipt_recent refuse to create such
rules.

With ip_pkt_list_tot's default value of 20, the following can be used
to reproduce the problem.

nc -u -l 0.0.0.0 1234 &
for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo $i | nc -w 1 -u 127.0.0.1 1234; done

This limits it to 20 packets:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 20 --name test --rsource -j DROP

While this is unlimited:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 21 --name test --rsource -j DROP

With the patch the second rule-set will throw an EINVAL.
