[NETFILTER]: Fix do_add_counters race, possible oops or info leak (CVE-2006-0039)

Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning
of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked
above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer
overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters
might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below
(t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps
this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE()
would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing
an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or
from another VPS) via counter increments. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.

[PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work

We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

[PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMA

With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't
free all objects."  The problem is caused by sequences such as the
following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1):

 * Allocate an object from cache on node 0.
 * Free the object on node 1.  The object is put into node 1's alien
   array_cache for node 0.
 * Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink().
 * __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes.
   For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the
   alien array_cache for the other node.

However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained,
and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache
into that same shared array_cache.  node 0's shared array_cache is
never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in
use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0.  So
__node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail.

This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do
drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the
nodes' shared array_caches.

The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.

18 years ago[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Jan Niehusmann [Mon, 15 May 2006 16:44:12 +0000 (09:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path

Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link.  I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.

In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS.  Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.

In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:

        if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
                /*
                 * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
                 * request from the recvq/xmitq.
                 */
                smb_lock_server(server);
                if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
                        list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
                        smb_rput(req);
                }
                smb_unlock_server(server);
        }
[...]
        if (signal_pending(current))
                req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;

I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set.  This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.

Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab.  As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).

If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.

I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

[PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel

Even since a previous patch:

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.

symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock.  This deadlocks the kernel of course.

This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly.  Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address().  The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

overly-zealous PCI quirk to only poke those VIA devices that need it.
However, some PCI devices were not included in what I hope is now the full

it, causing IRQ routing failures.

This should I hope correct this.
