Merge branch 'sctp-enhancements-for-the-verification-tag'
Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: enhancements for the verification tag This patchset is to address CVE-2021-3772: A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. This is caused by the missing VTAG verification for the received chunks and the incorrect vtag for the ABORT used to reply to these invalid chunks. This patchset is to go over all processing functions for the received chunks and do: 1. Make sure sctp_vtag_verify() is called firstly to verify the vtag from the received chunk and discard this chunk if it fails. With some exceptions: a. sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init()/5_2_2_dupinit()/9_2_reshutack(), processing INIT chunk, as sctphdr vtag is always 0 in INIT chunk. b. sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook(), processing dupicate COOKIE_ECHO chunk, as the vtag verification will be done by sctp_tietags_compare() and then it takes right actions according to the return. c. sctp_sf_shut_8_4_5(), processing SHUTDOWN_ACK chunk for cookie_wait and cookie_echoed state, as RFC demand sending a SHUTDOWN_COMPLETE even if the vtag verification failed. d. sctp_sf_ootb(), called in many types of chunks for closed state or no asoc, as the same reason to c. 2. Always use the vtag from the received INIT chunk to make the response ABORT in sctp_ootb_pkt_new(). 3. Fix the order for some checks and add some missing checks for the received chunk. This patch series has been tested with SCTP TAHI testing to make sure no regression caused on protocol conformance. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <[email protected]>
