'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.
It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.

commit f3c5c1bfd4 (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in
handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table()
We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow
cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one.
A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value
instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different
hooks.

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER
(1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0)
This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority
band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop
probabilities.
This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely
used.

Jiffies wraps around therefore the correct way to compare is

In the congestion control interface, the callback for each ACK
includes an estimated round trip time in microseconds.
Some algorithms need high resolution (Vegas style) but most only
need jiffie resolution. If RTT is not accurate (like a retransmission)
-1 is used as a flag value.
When doing coarse resolution if RTT is less than a a jiffie
then 0 should be returned rather than no estimate. Otherwise algorithms
that expect good ack's to trigger slow start (like CUBIC Hystart)
will be confused.

2) In check_peer_pmtu, argument of time_before is reversed.

Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".
Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where
SIOCSIFDSTADDR sets the destination address on a point-to-point
link, ifa_address gets set to that destination address.
Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface
address.
There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly:
1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even
though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user
2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using
ifa_address instead of ifa_local.

When doing output route lookups, we have to select the source address
if the user has not specified an explicit one.
First, if the route has an explicit preferred source address
specified, then we use that.
Otherwise we search the route's outgoing interface for a suitable
address.
This search can be precomputed and cached at route insertion time.
The only missing part is that we have to refresh this precomputed
value any time addresses are added or removed from the interface, and
this is accomplished by fib_update_nh_saddrs().
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
fib_semantic_match() requires that if the type doesn't signal an
automatic error, it must be of type RTN_UNICAST, RTN_LOCAL,
RTN_BROADCAST, RTN_ANYCAST, or RTN_MULTICAST.
Checking this every route lookup is pointless work.
Instead validate it during route insertion, via fib_create_info().
Also, there was nothing making sure the type value was less than
RTN_MAX, so add that missing check while we're here.
