[PATCH 3.12 71/91] net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 79462ad02e861803b3840cc782248c7359451cd9 ]

éæå reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
using a simple program:

	int socket_fd;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	addr.sin_port = 0;
	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	addr.sin_family = 10;

	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
	connect(socket_fd , &addr,16);

AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
store a zero in the protocol fields.

This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
is NULL for raw sockets.

kernel: Call Trace:
kernel:  [<ffffffff816db90e>] ? inet_autobind+0x2e/0x70

kernel:  [<ffffffff81779515>] tracesys_phase2+0x84/0x89

I found no particular commit which introduced this problem.
