Commit 97bab73f (inet: Hide route peer accesses behind helpers.) introduced a bug in xfrm6_policy_destroy(). The xfrm_dst's _rt6i_peer member is not initialized, causing a false positive result from inetpeer_ptr_is_peer(), which in turn causes a NULL pointer dereference in inet_putpeer().

In net/caif/chnl_net.c::chnl_recv_cb() we call skb_header_pointer() which may return NULL, but we do not check for a NULL pointer before dereferencing it. This patch adds such a NULL check and properly free's allocated memory and return an error (-EINVAL) on failure - much better than crashing.. Signed-off-by:

If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account. Reported-by:

The mdio-mux driver scans all child mdio nodes, without regard to whether the node is actually used. Some device trees include all possible mdio-mux nodes and rely on the boot loader to disable those that are not present, based on some run-time configuration. Those nodes need to be skipped.

Macro for_each_child_of_node() makes it easy to iterate over all of the children for a given device tree node, including those nodes that are marked as unavailable (i.e. status = "disabled"). Introduce for_each_available_child_of_node(), which is like for_each_child_of_node(), but it automatically skips unavailable nodes. This also requires the introduction of helper function of_get_next_available_child(), which returns the next available child node. Signed-off-by:

A socket fd passed in a SCM_RIGHTS datagram was not getting updated with the new tasks cgrp prioidx. This leaves IO on the socket tagged with the old tasks priority. To fix this add a check in the scm recvmsg path to update the sock cgrp prioidx with the new tasks value. Thanks to Al Viro for catching this. CC: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reported-by:

We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the netowrk of other virtual machines. To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror it, and only drop the redirected packets. Signed-off-by:

In __nf_ct_expect_check, the function refresh_timer returns 1 if a matching expectation is found and its timer is successfully refreshed. This results in nf_ct_expect_related returning 0. Note that at this point: - the passed expectation is not inserted in the expectation table and its timer was not initialized, since we have refreshed one matching/existing expectation. - nf_ct_expect_alloc uses kmem_cache_alloc, so the expectation timer is in some undefined state just after the allocation, until it is appropriately initialized. This can be a problem for the SIP helper during the expectation addition: ... if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) == 0) { if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtcp_exp) != 0) nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp); ... Note that nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) may return 0 for the timer refresh case that is detailed above. Then, if nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtcp_exp) returns != 0, nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp) is called, which does: spin_lock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock); if (del_timer(&exp->timeout)) { nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp); nf_ct_expect_put(exp); } spin_unlock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock); Note that del_timer always returns false if the timer has been initialized. However, the timer was not initialized since setup_timer was not called, therefore, the expectation timer remains in some undefined state. If I'm not missing anything, this may lead to the removal an unexistent expectation. To fix this, the optimization that allows refreshing an expectation is removed. Now nf_conntrack_expect_related looks more consistent to me since it always add the expectation in case that it returns success. Thanks to Patrick McHardy for participating in the discussion of this patch. I think this may be the source of the problem described by: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=134073514719421&w=2Reported-by:Rafal Fitt <rafalf@aplusc.com.pl> Acked-by:

ccid_hc_rx_getsockopt() and ccid_hc_tx_getsockopt() might be called with a NULL ccid pointer leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could lead to a privilege escalation if the attacker is able to map page 0 and prepare it with a fake ccid_ops pointer. Signed-off-by:

The LLC code wrongly returns 0, i.e. "success", when the socket is zapped. Together with the uninitialized uaddrlen pointer argument from sys_getsockname this leads to an arbitrary memory leak of up to 128 bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall. Return an error instead when the socket is zapped to prevent the info leak. Also remove the unnecessary memset(0). We don't directly write to the memory pointed by uaddr but memcpy() a local structure at the end of the function that is properly initialized. Signed-off-by:

Dan Carpenter fixes a signedness mismatch in at76c50x. Felix Fietkau corrects a regression caused by an earlier commit that can lead to an IRQ storm. Lorenzo Bianconi offers a fix for a bad variable initialization in ath9k that can cause it to improperly mark decrypted frames. Rajkumar Manoharan fixes ath9k to prevent the btcoex time from running when the hardware is asleep. The remainder are Bluetooth fixes, about which Gustavo says: "Here goes some fixes for 3.6-rc1, there are a few fix to thte inquiry code by Ram Malovany, support for 2 new devices, and few others fixes for NULL dereference, possible deadlock and a memory leak." ==================== Signed-off-by: -
