753eab76a3 [UDP]: Make udp_encap_rcv use pskb_may_pull
Make udp_encap_rcv use pskb_may_pull

IPsec with NAT-T breaks on some notebooks using the latest e1000 chipset,
when header split is enabled. When receiving sufficiently large packets, the
driver puts everything up to and including the UDP header into the header
portion of the skb, and the rest goes into the paged part. udp_encap_rcv
forgets to use pskb_may_pull, and fails to decapsulate it. Instead, it
passes it up it to the IKE daemon.

38f7efd52c [NETFILTER]: H.323 conntrack: fix crash with CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_ACCT
H.323 connection tracking code calls ip_ct_refresh_acct() when
processing RCFs and URQs but passes NULL as the skb.
When CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_ACCT is enabled, the connection tracking core tries
to derefence the skb, which results in an obvious panic.

ago.

d8a585d78e [NETFILTER]: Use pskb_trim in {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue
Based on patch by James D. Nurmi:

I've got some code very dependant on nfnetlink_queue, and turned up a
large number of warns coming from skb_trim.  While it's quite possibly
my code, having not seen it on older kernels made me a bit suspect.

Anyhow, based on some googling I turned up this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/13/56

And believe the issue to be related, so attached is a small patch to
the kernel -- not sure if this is completely correct, but for anyone
else hitting the WARN_ON(1) in skbuff.h, it might be helpful..

f8687afefc [NetLabel]: protect the CIPSOv4 socket option from setsockopt()
This patch makes two changes to protect applications from either removing or
tampering with the CIPSOv4 IP option on a socket.  The first is the requirement
that applications have the CAP_NET_RAW capability to set an IPOPT_CIPSO option
on a socket; this prevents untrusted applications from setting their own
CIPSOv4 security attributes on the packets they send.  The second change is to
SELinux and it prevents applications from setting any IPv4 options when there
is an IPOPT_CIPSO option already present on the socket; this prevents
applications from removing CIPSOv4 security attributes from the packets they
send.

590bdf7fd2 [NETFILTER]: Missed and reordered checks in {arp,ip,ip6}_tables
There is a number of issues in parsing user-provided table in
translate_table(). Malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN may crash system by
passing special-crafted table to the *_tables.

The first issue is that mark_source_chains() function is called before entry
content checks. In case of standard target, mark_source_chains() function
uses t->verdict field in order to determine new position. But the check, that
this field leads no further, than the table end, is in check_entry(), which
is called later, than mark_source_chains().

The second issue, that there is no check that target_offset points inside
entry. If so, *_ITERATE_MATCH macro will follow further, than the entry
ends. As a result, we'll have oops or memory disclosure.

And the third issue, that there is no check that the target is completely
inside entry. Results are the same, as in previous issue.

The 32bit compatibility layer has no CAP_NET_ADMIN check in
compat_do_ipt_get_ctl, which for example allows to list the current
iptables rules even without having that capability (the non-compat
version requires it). Other capabilities might be required to exploit
the bug (eg. CAP_NET_RAW to get the nfnetlink socket?), so a plain user
can't exploit it, but a setup actually using the posix capability system
might very well hit such a constellation of granted capabilities.

ae8064ac32 [TCP]: Bound TSO defer time
This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.

On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts.  See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO.  This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.

Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.

5b368e61c2 IPsec: correct semantics for SELinux policy matching
Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security
context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so
the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would
otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux
policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled"
IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added
SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and
so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable
xfrm(s) applied.

The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of
"deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by
default" in the above case.

This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris
was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.

With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec
policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context
specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding
SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context).

Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied,
such as -EINVAL.  We were not handling that correctly, and in fact
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not
associated with an xfrm policy.

The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.

Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which
indicates that the packet can pass freely).  This also forces any future
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux)
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the
flow cache entry).

This patch: Fix the selinux side of things.

This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy
rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated
with the IPSec policy rule.

Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to
the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case
is now handled properly.

In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
appropriate one to use.  This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
helper.

Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname().  Hope I picked all the
	right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.  These are now changed to
	utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
	patch (2/7)

e9ff3990f0 [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: switch to using uts namespaces
Replace references to system_utsname to the per-process uts namespace
where appropriate.  This includes things like uname.

Changes: Per Eric Biederman's comments, use the per-process uts namespace
	for ELF_PLATFORM, sunrpc, and parts of net/ipv4/ipconfig.c

3a872d89ba [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:

o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
  The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
  architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
  to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
  specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
  However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
  probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
  CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
  the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
  happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
  work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
  work, say, on powerpc)

95d4e6be25 [NetLabel]: audit fixups due to delayed feedback
Fix some issues Steve Grubb had with the way NetLabel was using the audit
subsystem.  This should make NetLabel more consistent with other kernel
generated audit messages specifying configuration changes.
