commit a8170c35e738d62e9919ce5b109cf4ed66e95bde upstream.

When calculating the INIT/INIT-ACK chunk length, we should not
only account the length of parameters, but also the parameters
zero padding length, such as AUTH HMACS parameter and CHUNKS
parameter. Without the parameters zero padding length we may get
following oops.

commit c0786693404cffd80ca3cb6e75ee7b35186b2825 upstream.

When we finish processing ASCONF_ACK chunk, we try to send
the next queued ASCONF.  This action runs the sctp state
machine recursively and it's not prepared to do so.

<title>sctp: Fix out-of-bounds reading in sctp_asoc_get_hmac()</title>

commit 51e97a12bef19b7e43199fc153cf9bd5f2140362 upstream.

The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids
array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is
returned.  The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id
in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the
id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an
out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent
function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption.  This patch resets
the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be
returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

<title>sctp: Fix a race between ICMP protocol unreachable and connect()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4746f7abc3f13246147e7f6c0d219876417001fa</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 50b5d6ad63821cea324a5a7a19854d4de1a0a819 upstream.

ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded
the fact that the user may have locked the socket.  It proceeded
to destroy the association, even though the user may have
held the lock and had a ref on the association.  This resulted
in the following:

Attempt to release alive inet socket f6afcc00

 [&lt;c1002959&gt;] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket
lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the
association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing
the socket.

The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket
is owned by user.  When the timer expires, we can do some verification
and be able to do the release properly.

[ Upstream fixed this in a different way as parts of the commits:
	8d987e5c7510 (net: avoid limits overflow)
	a9febbb4bd13 (sysctl: min/max bounds are optional)
	27b3d80a7b6a (sysctl: fix min/max handling in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax())
 -DaveM ]
 
On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and
sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow.  Set limit such that they are
maximized without overflowing.

Its an skb_over_panic BUG halt that results from processing an init chunk in
which too many of its variable length parameters are in some way malformed.

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param:
if (NULL == *errp)
	*errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk,
					 ntohs(chunk-&gt;chunk_hdr-&gt;length));

	if (*errp) {
		sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM,
				 WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p-&gt;length)));
		sctp_addto_chunk(*errp,
			WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p-&gt;length)),
				  param.v);

When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires
that we have chunk_hdr-&gt;length data allocated, which would be correct nominally,
given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter.  Unfortunately,
we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error
chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation
requires chunk_hdr-&gt;length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.

The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a
listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173

I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue.  We move to a
strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't
have space to report.  Tested by me successfully

[ Upstream commit 759af00ebef858015eb68876ac1f383bcb6a1774 ]

Recent changes to the retransmit code exposed a long standing
bug where it was possible for a chunk to be time stamped
after the retransmit timer was reset.  This caused a rare
situation where the retrnamist timer has expired, but
nothing was marked for retrnasmission because all of
timesamps on data were less then 1 rto ago.  As result,
the timer was never restarted since nothing was retransmitted,
and this resulted in a hung association that did couldn't
complete the data transfer.  The solution is to timestamp
the chunk when it's added to the packet for transmission
purposes.  After the packet is trsnmitted the rtx timer
is restarted.  This guarantees that when the timer expires,
there will be data to retransmit.

[ Upstream commit 6574df9a89f9f7da3a4e5cee7633d430319d3350 ]

Commit 62aeaff5ccd96462b7077046357a6d7886175a57
(sctp: Start T3-RTX timer when fast retransmitting lowest TSN)
introduced a regression where it was possible to forcibly
restart the sctp retransmit timer at the transmission of any
new chunk.  This resulted in much longer timeout times and
sometimes hung sctp connections.
