[PATCH 3.16 276/306] tipc: check minimum bearer MTU

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 18:13:24 EST


3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal KubeÄek <mkubecek@xxxxxxx>

commit 3de81b758853f0b29c61e246679d20b513c4cfec upstream.

Qian Zhang (åè) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to
insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for
even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace,
this issue can be abused by a regular user.

As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should
check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each
processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is
adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid
overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Adjust context
- Duplicate macro definitions in bearer.h to avoid mutual inclusion
- NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGEMTU cases in net notifier were combined
- Drop changes in udp_media.c]
