Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl arguments

The ipvs code has a nifty system for doing the size of ioctl command copies;
it defines an array with values into which it indexes the cmd to find the
right length.

Unfortunately, the ipvs code forgot to check if the cmd was in the range
that the array provides, allowing for an index outside of the array,
which then gives a "garbage" result into the length, which then gets
used for copying into a stack buffer.

Fix this by adding sanity checks on these as well as the copy size.

I think it's better to use 'copylen > sizeof(arg)' here.

I am not convinced... it is a different numerical value,
so it could be an ABI change. Rather not do that in this
type of patch...

For do_ip_vs_set_ctl MAX_ARG_LEN is used:

static int
do_ip_vs_set_ctl(struct sock *sk, int cmd, void __user *user, unsigned int len)
{
int ret;
unsigned char arg[MAX_ARG_LEN];
...

I assume that will be fine for do_ip_vs_get_ctl as well.

do_ip_vs_get_ctl and do_ip_vs_set_ctl are nf_sockopt_ops
handlers, so the range is checked by nf_sockopt_find() in Netfilter
code. get_arglen[] and set_arglen[] are minimum values for
the length and they can be 0. Later len can be checked
additionally and surely can exceed 128 (include/linux/ip_vs.h has
all user structures). Can you show the exact cmd and len
used, may be there is error in some command or may be the
provided user structure is wrong?

the on-stack structure currently is 128 bytes though...

this comes from code inspection using gcc features; this
is one of the (few) cases in the kernel where gcc cannot prove
that the copy_from_user() length for the copy-to-stack is sufficiently
bounds checked. I'm trying to make sure all these cases have
complete enough checks, both for the obvious security reasons but
also to be able to then make gcc emit a warning to prevent future
issues from popping up.

OK, you can add my signed-off line after changing
'cmd > ...MAX + 1' to 'cmd > ...MAX' at both
places, nf_sockopt_ops ranges are [optmin ... optmax)

May be comments should be changed because:

- i'm not the author but after ispection we do not see any holes,
we do not want users to upgrade just for this change
- the cmd checks are just to help code checking tools
- the len checks should help programmers (may be BUG_ON is
better, user does not deserve EINVAL for wrong set_arglen/get_arglen).
Checks for *len and len are not needed.

For example, for len checks this should be enough, before
copy_from_user():

in do_ip_vs_get_ctl check can be
BUG_ON(get_arglen[GET_CMDID(cmd)] > sizeof(arg));

in do_ip_vs_set_ctl check can be
BUG_ON(set_arglen[SET_CMDID(cmd)] > sizeof(arg));

Hi Arjan,

could you address the comments Julian made about this?
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0910.0/00852.html

OK, you can add my signed-off line after changing
'cmd > ...MAX + 1' to 'cmd > ...MAX' at both
