[PATCH 3.16 129/129] netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 355b98553789b646ed97ad801a619ff898471b92 upstream.

net_hash_mix() currently uses kernel address of a struct net,
and is used in many places that could be used to reveal this
address to a patient attacker, thus defeating KASLR, for
the typical case (initial net namespace, &init_net is
not dynamically allocated)

I believe the original implementation tried to avoid spending
too many cycles in this function, but security comes first.

Also provide entropy regardless of CONFIG_NET_NS.

Fixes: 0b4419162aa6 ("netns: introduce the net_hash_mix "salt" for hashes")
