commit 8a5e5e02 upstream. Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space" is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers lower than mmap_min_addr. The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups. The values are suggested by Solar Designer: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/05/02/6Signed-off-by:

commit 447d6275 upstream. Add some sanity check codes before actually accessing the endpoint via get_endpoint() in order to avoid the invalid access through a malformed USB descriptor. Mostly just checking bNumEndpoints, but in one place (snd_microii_spdif_default_get()), the validity of iface and altsetting index is checked as well.

commit 0f886ca1 upstream. create_fixed_stream_quirk() may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by accessing the non-existing endpoint when a USB device with a malformed USB descriptor is used.

commit fbd40ea0 upstream. When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this. Reported-by:

commit dc17147d upstream. Commit f3775549 ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f3775549 only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future.

commit e246eb56 upstream. Laszlo explains why this is a good idea, 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables, and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name according to the above pattern. Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c". While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log, *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.' There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding things from the whitelist. Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable name formats are created for crash dump variables.

commit ed8b0de5 upstream. "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

commit 8282f5d9 upstream. All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're validating the variables we think we are.

commit 7cae2bed upstream. As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350, it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via KVM_SET_MSRS. Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads sched_info.run_delay). To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time, before copying steal time data to guest.

commit 5d150a98 upstream. When ipv6_find_hdr is used to find a fragment header (caller specifies target NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT) we erronously return -ENOENT for all fragments with nonzero offset. Before commit 9195bb8e, when target was specified, we did not enter the exthdr walk loop as nexthdr == target so this used to work. Now we do (so we can skip empty route headers). When we then stumble upon a frag with nonzero frag_off we must return -ENOENT ("header not found") only if the caller did not specifically request NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT. This allows nfables exthdr expression to match ipv6 fragments, e.g. via nft add rule ip6 filter input frag frag-off gt 0 Fixes: 9195bb8e ("ipv6: improve ipv6_find_hdr() to skip empty routing headers") Signed-off-by:

commit 1837b2e2 upstream. The current reserved_tailroom calculation fails to take hlen and tlen into account. skb: [__hlen__|__data____________|__tlen___|__extra__] ^ ^ head skb_end_offset In this representation, hlen + data + tlen is the size passed to alloc_skb. "extra" is the extra space made available in __alloc_skb because of rounding up by kmalloc. We can reorder the representation like so: [__hlen__|__data____________|__extra__|__tlen___] ^ ^ head skb_end_offset The maximum space available for ip headers and payload without fragmentation is min(mtu, data + extra). Therefore, reserved_tailroom = data + extra + tlen - min(mtu, data + extra) = skb_end_offset - hlen - min(mtu, skb_end_offset - hlen - tlen) = skb_tailroom - min(mtu, skb_tailroom - tlen) ; after skb_reserve(hlen) Compare the second line to the current expression: reserved_tailroom = skb_end_offset - min(mtu, skb_end_offset) and we can see that hlen and tlen are not taken into account. The min() in the third line can be expanded into: if mtu < skb_tailroom - tlen: reserved_tailroom = skb_tailroom - mtu else: reserved_tailroom = tlen Depending on hlen, tlen, mtu and the number of multicast address records, the current code may output skbs that have less tailroom than dev->needed_tailroom or it may output more skbs than needed because not all space available is used.

commit 6e522422 upstream. The VF administrative mac addresses (stored in the PF driver) are initialized to zero when the PF driver starts up. These addresses may be modified in the PF driver through ndo calls initiated by iproute2 or libvirt. While we allow the PF/host to change the VF admin mac address from zero to a valid unicast mac, we do not allow restoring the VF admin mac to zero. We currently only allow changing this mac to a different unicast mac. This leads to problems when libvirt scripts are used to deal with VF mac addresses, and libvirt attempts to revoke the mac so this host will not use it anymore. Fix this by allowing resetting a VF administrative MAC back to zero. Fixes: 8f7ba3ca ('net/mlx4: Add set VF mac address support') Signed-off-by:

commit 7099e2e1 upstream. Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least) would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it isn't safe: When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA). There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.) The guest can learn something about the host this way: If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2. After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from host's tracing. This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already overwritten with guest's). We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much. We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that optimization isn't worth its code, IMO. (If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.) Fixes: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")

commit ccec4456 upstream. Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR) to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers (SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit. This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral value on guest exit. Fixes: b005255eReported-by:

commit 256faedc upstream. This reverts commit dbb17a21. It turns out that commit can cause problems for systems with multiple GPUs, and causes X to hang on at least a HP Pavilion dv7 with hybrid graphics. This got noticed originally in 4.4.4, where this patch had already gotten back-ported, but 4.5-rc7 was verified to have the same problem. Alexander Deucher says: "It looks like you have a muxed system so I suspect what's happening is that one of the display is being reported as connected for both the IGP and the dGPU and then the desktop environment gets confused or there some sort problem in the detect functions since the mux is not switched to the dGPU.

commit 7f54ab5f upstream. This patch fixes a recent ABORT_TASK regression associated with commit febe562c, where a left-over target_put_sess_cmd() would still be called when __target_check_io_state() detected a command has already been completed, and explicit ABORT must be avoided. Note commit febe562c dropped the local kref_get_unless_zero() check in core_tmr_abort_task(), but did not drop this extra corresponding target_put_sess_cmd() in the failure path. So go ahead and drop this now bogus target_put_sess_cmd(), and avoid this potential use-after-free. Reported-by:

It was originally added in mac80211 to save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited number of concurrent aggregation sessions. Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with ath9k.

commit cb150b9d upstream. Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Signed-off-by:

commit 8bf86273 upstream. Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself. Reported-by:
