commit 82e6bfe2fbc4d48852114c4f979137cd5bf1d1a8 upstream.

Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r-&gt;cost != 0 can happen when
a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there.

Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values.
Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.

commit 7a909ac70f6b0823d9f23a43f19598d4b57ac901 upstream.

credit_cap can be set to credit, which avoids inlining user2credits
twice. Also, remove inline keyword and let compiler decide.

<title>netfilter: nf_ct_expect: fix possible access to uninitialized timer</title>

commit 2614f86490122bf51eb7c12ec73927f1900f4e7d upstream.

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(&amp;nf_conntrack_lock);
 if (del_timer(&amp;exp-&gt;timeout)) {
         nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp);
         nf_ct_expect_put(exp);
 }
 spin_unlock_bh(&amp;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:

commit f22eb25cf5b1157b29ef88c793b71972efc47143 upstream.

Via-headers are parsed beginning at the first character after the Via-address.
When the address is translated first and its length decreases, the offset to
start parsing at is incorrect and header parameters might be missed.

Update the offset after translating the Via-address to fix this.

commit 3f509c689a07a4aa989b426893d8491a7ffcc410 upstream.

We're hitting bug while trying to reinsert an already existing
expectation:

kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:895!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]

 &lt;IRQ&gt;

We have to remove the RTP expectation if the RTCP expectation hits EBUSY
since we keep trying with other ports until we succeed.

commit 07153c6ec074257ade76a461429b567cff2b3a1e upstream.

It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs:

klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447!
klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392

ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors
at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen.
However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header,
calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto().  But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check
bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error()
and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines.

The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by invalidating packets with bogus
ihl value.

The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.

<title>netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events</title>

commit 5b423f6a40a0327f9d40bc8b97ce9be266f74368 upstream.

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack
entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled.
In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were
just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may
hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such
list.

This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for
event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension.
Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions
to allocate this area on demand.

commit 283283c4da91adc44b03519f434ee1e7e91d6fdb upstream.

	After commit 39f618b4fd95ae243d940ec64c961009c74e3333 (3.4)
"ipvs: reset ipvs pointer in netns" we can oops in
ip_vs_dst_event on rmmod ip_vs because ip_vs_control_cleanup
is called after the ipvs_core_ops subsys is unregistered and
net-&gt;ipvs is NULL. Fix it by exiting early from ip_vs_dst_event
if ipvs is NULL. It is safe because all services and dests
for the net are already freed.

commit 5aa8b572007c4bca1e6d3dd4c4820f1ae49d6bb2 upstream.

For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following
expression will result negative:

        datalen = pkt_dev-&gt;cur_pkt_size - 14 -
                  sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) -
                  pkt_dev-&gt;pkt_overhead;

And,  the check "if (datalen &lt; sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be
passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause
a crash later.

This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following
patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6.

This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.

commit a519fc7a70d1a918574bb826cc6905b87b482eb9 upstream.

Instead of doing a shutdown() call, we need to do an actual close().
Ditto if/when the server is sending us junk RPC headers.
