[PATCH net v4 0/5] amt: relay tunnel lifetime, validation and request-path hardening

[Omar Ramadan]

This series hardens AMT relay tunnel lifetime, validates gateway input, and
keeps unauthenticated Requests from consuming relay state. The fixes were
found while reviewing the AMT IPv6 outer transport work; that work is not
included here.

I am using the existing IPv4 AMT relay and gateway implementation in a
multicast delivery network, where gateways on access networks send IGMP/MLD
membership state through a relay to reach downstream receivers. The fixes in
this series come from exercising that deployed control and data path; the
series does not claim to add the IPv6 outer transport.

The first patch closes the gc_wq re-arm use-after-free and makes teardown
safe for RCU readers and delayed group/source workers. The second rejects
Queries and Data from 0.0.0.0 before relay discovery and revalidates deferred
Queries. The third requires exactly four bytes for IPv4 netlink address
attributes. The fourth makes pre-Query drops visible, avoids counting
successful reports as drops, and uses concurrent-safe TX statistics. The
fifth keeps Requests stateless, authenticates Membership Updates before
allocation, keys state by address and port, bounds per-source admission, and
silently drops failed endpoint admission.

v5 changes:
- Defer group/source node freeing until their delayed work is synchronously
  cancelled, with separate GC links and owner-pointer invalidation.
- Preserve the original GMI expiry for Request-only intermediate tunnels.
- Document deferred Query revalidation and rewrite the patch 5 message to
  match its authentication and admission changes.
- Move the unauthenticated Request endpoint scan out of amt->lock and remove
  the ICMP response for failed verified tunnel allocation.
- Add the tunnel liveness checks to the lifetime fix and restore the dead
  locking comment.

Validation: GCC W=1 object builds with IPv6 enabled and disabled. The full
W=1 build is blocked by an unrelated existing unused-but-set warning in
net/netfilter/nft_compat.c; the AMT object itself is warning-free.

[PATCH net v4 1/5] amt: fix use-after-free when a Membership Update re-arms a freed tunnel

[Omar Ramadan]

amt_update_handler() refreshes a relay tunnel's garbage-collection timer
with mod_delayed_work() on a tunnel found by an RCU walk. A concurrent
amt_tunnel_expire() can unlink and free that tunnel while the Update path
still has the cached pointer, leaving gc_wq armed in freed memory.

Make amt_tunnel_expire() the only timeout-path freer. The Update path
records last_seen, and expire rechecks it under amt->lock before either
rearming or freeing the tunnel. Protect the dead state with tunnel->lock so
report handling cannot add multicast state after teardown begins. Device
stop marks tunnels dead, unlinks them with list_del_rcu(), synchronously
cancels
their work, and frees them after lockless readers have passed.

Apply the same lifetime rules to group and source timer work: mark nodes
dead
under tunnel->lock, keep RCU held while workers resolve their owners, defer
node freeing, and synchronously cancel each timer before freeing its owner.
Drain that deferred work before freeing a tunnel, and release the group
timer's device reference on every exit. A Request-only tunnel retains the
original GMI timeout; only an authenticated Membership Update refreshes
last_seen and uses the longer lifetime.

[PATCH net v4 2/5] amt: reject a gateway Query or Data from 0.0.0.0 before a relay is learned

[Omar Ramadan]

A gateway's amt_rcv() admits a Membership Query or Multicast Data message
when "saddr != remote_ip" is false. remote_ip is 0 before discovery has
learned a relay (and is reset to 0 by amt_dev_open() and when discovery
gives up), so a packet whose source is 0.0.0.0 would otherwise pass the
equality check and could spoof a Query or inject multicast data.

Reject both when no relay is learned: a 0 remote_ip must match nothing, so
guard the check with !remote_ip. A Query is queued before its event worker
processes it, so the relay address can also change in that window. Recheck
the packet source against the current remote_ip in the handler and discard
stale Queries. Discovery is unaffected because Relay Advertisements are
validated against discovery_ip, not remote_ip.

[PATCH net v4 3/5] amt: require an exact IPv4-sized IFLA_AMT_{LOCAL,DISCOVERY}_IP

[Omar Ramadan]

The netlink policy for IFLA_AMT_LOCAL_IP and IFLA_AMT_DISCOVERY_IP is an
untyped entry with .len set to the size of an IPv4 address, which netlink
validation treats as a minimum length only.  Any longer payload passes,
and nla_get_in_addr() then reads just its first four bytes: an iproute2
that puts a 16-byte IPv6 literal in one of these IPv4 attributes turns
"2001:db8::" into 32.1.13.184, and the device is created with an address
the user never asked for.

Use NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(sizeof(__be32)) for both, so every payload that
is not exactly four bytes long is refused with a standard extack instead
of being truncated.  The range check this expands to fails the attribute
even under the liberal parsing rtnetlink applies to IFLA_INFO_DATA.
amt_get_size() and amt_fill_info() already emit exactly four bytes for
these attributes.  IFLA_AMT_REMOTE_IP is only ever reported, never read
from a request, so it is left unchanged.

[PATCH net v4 4/5] amt: make pre-query report drops visible

[Omar Ramadan]

A gateway cannot forward an IGMP or MLD report until it has received the
relay's Membership Query for that family.  The Query supplies the
response MAC the Update echoes, so dropping an early report is required,
but doing so silently leaves operators with a dark multicast path and no
indication why the join never happened.

Emit a family-specific debug message before taking the drop path.

tx_dropped could not show these drops either: amt_dev_xmit() reaches the
same tx_dropped increment after amt_send_membership_update() has handed
the report to the tunnel, so in gateway mode every forwarded report was
also counted as a drop.  Return NETDEV_TX_OK directly once the report has
been sent, so tx_dropped counts only reports that were discarded.

The device is LLTX, so amt_dev_xmit() can run on several CPUs at once;
use DEV_STATS_INC() for its tx_dropped and tx_errors updates so
concurrent increments are not lost.

[PATCH net v4 5/5] amt: harden relay authentication and teardown

[Omar Ramadan]

An AMT Request has an unauthenticated, spoofable source address. Allocating
tunnel state from that path allowed spoofed Requests to consume tunnel
slots
or overwrite the nonce and MAC of an established gateway.

Keep Requests stateless by deriving the Query MAC from the source address,
source port, nonce, and current secret. Authenticate the Membership Update
before decapsulation or allocation, key verified state by the address/port
endpoint, enforce global and per-source limits, and silently reject an
endpoint that cannot be admitted. Retain four secret generations so a
gateway can renew its MAC across rotations.

Before a verified Update reaches the IGMP or MLD report handlers, recheck
tunnel liveness under tunnel->lock so it cannot add multicast state after
teardown has started.

Re: [PATCH net v4 0/5] amt: relay tunnel lifetime, validation and request-path hardening

[Omar Ramadan]

Thanks for the review. The findings are addressed in v5.

The group/source worker lifetime finding is valid. Taking rcu_read_lock()
inside a delayed-work callback was too late: the callback could be dequeued,
preempted, and its owner freed before it entered RCU. v5 gives source and
group nodes separate deferred-GC links, clears their owner pointers while
teardown holds tunnel->lock, and synchronously cancels each timer in the GC
worker before kfree_rcu(). The GC worker runs outside tunnel->lock, so it can
wait for a callback that is already running. Tunnel teardown drains the group
GC before freeing the tunnel. This also prevents a source callback from
running through a freed group or tunnel.

The tunnel->dead checks are now part of patch 1. amt_update_handler() checks
tunnel->dead under tunnel->lock before either report handler, and both tunnel
freers set it while holding the same lock. The deferred Query source check is
intentional and is now described by patch 2: a queued Query is revalidated
against the current remote_ip after relay changes or reset.

Request-only tunnels retain the original GMI timeout in the intermediate
lifetime fix. They do not stamp last_seen; only an authenticated Membership
Update refreshes it and receives the 3*GMI lifetime.

Patch 5's message now describes only stateless Requests, keyed Query MAC
authentication, endpoint admission, key generations, and the liveness guard.
The unauthenticated Request endpoint scan no longer holds amt->lock, and a
failed verified tunnel allocation is dropped silently rather than reflected
with ICMP. The dead comment again documents both locks.

Re: [PATCH net v4 0/5] amt: relay tunnel lifetime, validation and request-path hardening

[Omar Ramadan]

Thanks for the review. These comments are against the v3 series; v4 has
addressed the review issues introduced or exposed at those bisect points.

The Update path now takes tunnel->lock and checks READ_ONCE(tunnel->dead)
before either the IGMP or MLD report handler. Both tunnel freers set dead
before clearing groups, so an Update that acquires the lock after teardown
starts cannot add a group or arm its group_timer. An Update that acquires the
lock first is covered by the same lock ordering: teardown waits for the
handler before clearing the group list.

amt_dev_stop() no longer uses list_splice_init(). It marks all tunnels dead,
then removes one tunnel at a time with list_del_rcu() while holding amt->lock,
and performs cancel_delayed_work_sync(), group clearing, and kfree_rcu()
outside the lock. Every lockless reader therefore keeps the real list head as
its terminator, and the post-stop get_or_create() path also rejects creation
when !netif_running(amt->dev).

The Request-only lifetime issue is removed by v4's final patch. Requests are
stateless and do not allocate tunnel entries; tunnel state is created only
after a Membership Update authenticates. last_seen therefore describes a
valid Update again, and the global and per-source limits cannot be consumed
by unauthenticated Requests.

The group and source timer workers now hold RCU while finding their owners
and take tunnel->lock before checking dead state. A worker that races with
teardown exits safely; the group worker also releases the device reference
that its timer owns. This closes the callback lifetime and double-removal
races raised in the review.

[PATCH net v4 0/5] amt: relay tunnel lifetime, validation and request-path hardening

[Omar Ramadan]

This series hardens AMT relay tunnel lifetime, validates gateway input, and
keeps unauthenticated Requests from consuming relay state. The fixes were
found while reviewing the AMT IPv6 outer transport work; that work is not
included here.

The first patch closes the gc_wq re-arm use-after-free and makes device-stop
teardown safe for RCU readers and concurrent delayed work. The second rejects
Queries and Data from 0.0.0.0 before relay discovery. The third requires
exactly four bytes for IPv4 netlink address attributes. The fourth makes
pre-Query drops visible, avoids counting successful reports as drops, and uses
concurrent-safe TX statistics. The fifth keeps Requests stateless, authenticates
Membership Updates before allocation, keys state by address and port, bounds
per-source admission, and closes group-worker and post-stop teardown races.

v4 changes:
- Add dead-state checks and RCU protection for group and source timer workers;
  retain exactly-once device-reference release on group timer exits.
- Revalidate deferred gateway Queries against the current relay address.
- Use DEV_STATS_INC() for all AMT TX error and drop counters.
- Fold endpoint keying into authenticated allocation and keep four secret
  generations, with silent refusal at global or per-source limits.
- Document the Request-only timer lifetime in the intermediate patch and wrap
  the new comments for the netdev linter.

Validation: GCC W=1 object builds with IPv6 enabled and disabled, Clang W=1
object build, and a KASAN + lockdep + PROVE_RCU AMT selftest soak. The KASAN
guest passed discovery, IPv4/IPv6 forwarding, query egress, and completed the
IPv4 torture run; the IPv6 torture run was still active when the session was
interrupted.

[PATCH net v4 0/5] amt: relay tunnel lifetime, validation and request-path hardening

[Omar Ramadan]

Five fixes to the AMT relay data and control paths, found while adding an
IPv6 outer transport (that feature follows for net-next, rebased on this).
All are independent of the IPv6 work and belong in net with stable in mind.

1/5 closes the gc_wq re-arm use-after-free and makes device-stop teardown
safe for lockless RCU readers. 2/5 rejects gateway Query/Data from 0.0.0.0
before a relay is learned. 3/5 requires exactly four bytes for the IPv4
input attributes, avoiding silent truncation of larger payloads. 4/5 makes
pre-Query report drops visible and stops counting forwarded reports as
drops. 5/5 keys relay tunnels on the (address, port) endpoint, authenticates
Updates before allocating tunnel state, and closes the report-group and
post-stop creation races found in review of v3.

Each patch carries a Fixes: tag. The exact tip builds warning-free with
GCC and Clang, W=1, with IPv6 enabled and disabled. A KASAN + lockdep +
PROVE_RCU kernel passes amt.sh 6/6 with no splats. The full-table control
(max_tunnels=1) gives the same result as v3.

v4:
- 1/5: unlink tunnels in place with list_del_rcu() and defer their free
  with kfree_rcu(); do not splice onto a stack head visible to RCU readers.
- 3/5: replace the IPv6-length special case with NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN for
  LOCAL_IP and DISCOVERY_IP. REMOTE_IP is output-only and is unchanged.
- 4/5: return directly after a successful Membership Update, use
  DEV_STATS_INC() for tx counters, and clarify the debug message.
- 5/5: fold v3's endpoint-keying patch into the authenticated-allocation
  patch, so no intermediate commit allocates unauthenticated port-keyed
  tunnels; retain four secret generations (180s floor > 125s QQIC);
  withhold Queries at both tunnel limits and silently drop refused
  Requests; re-check dead under the tunnel lock before report handling;
  reject creation after device stop.
- Rewrap the comments reported by NIPA at 80 columns.
