2015-08-03ieee802154: Fix sockaddr_ieee802154 implicit padding information leak.Lennert Buytenhek
commit 8a70cefa3037d62e7c0b6068a66675def1a330c9 upstream. The AF_IEEE802154 sockaddr looks like this: struct sockaddr_ieee802154 { sa_family_t family; /* AF_IEEE802154 */ struct ieee802154_addr_sa addr; }; struct ieee802154_addr_sa { int addr_type; u16 pan_id; union { u8 hwaddr[IEEE802154_ADDR_LEN]; u16 short_addr; }; }; On most architectures there will be implicit structure padding here, in two different places: * In struct sockaddr_ieee802154, two bytes of padding between 'family' (unsigned short) and 'addr', so that 'addr' starts on a four byte boundary. * In struct ieee802154_addr_sa, two bytes at the end of the structure, to make the structure 16 bytes. When calling recvmsg(2) on a PF_IEEE802154 SOCK_DGRAM socket, the ieee802154 stack constructs a struct sockaddr_ieee802154 on the kernel stack without clearing these padding fields, and, depending on the addr_type, between four and ten bytes of uncleared kernel stack will be copied to userspace. We can't just insert two 'u16 __pad's in the right places and zero those before copying an address to userspace, as not all architectures insert this implicit padding -- from a quick test it seems that avr32, cris and m68k don't insert this padding, while every other architecture that I have cross compilers for does insert this padding. The easiest way to plug the leak is to just memset the whole struct sockaddr_ieee802154 before filling in the fields we want to fill in, and that's what this patch does.

2015-03-02net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsgYing Xue
After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.

2015-01-03ieee802154: rename af_ieee802154.c to socket.cAlexander Aring
This patch renames the "af_ieee802154.c" to "socket.c". This is just a cleanup to have a short name for it which describes the implementationm stuff more human understandable. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
