[PATCH net-next v2 0/7] more virtio-net csum hardening

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

As reported first by Paulos Yibelo <habte.yibelo@gmail.com> (after which
others, credited below, found more ways the bug can affect users):

allowing untrusted hardware to specify csum start/offset for
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL was not a good idea, because, if it edits the packet
outside the actual checksum, and depending on the setup, the networking
stack could be looking at the packet both before and after the edit, and
seeing different results.

Previously, commit 6785011f8b16 ("ipv4: validate checksum_start before
completing checksum") validated all known instances where this
causes the most grief, but the real fix is to make sure
that either only actual checksum fields are ever edited,
or the checksum is completed before the net stack looks at it,
so it is always consistent.


This basically goes back to
what we did before f43798c27684 ("tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr"),
except in a narrow list of specified known good cases.


Summary of the patchset:
  net: account for ingress-resolved virtio net hdr state
	- accounting, not the fix itself, dependency of the next one
  net: resolve uncommon partial checksums at ingress
	- fix itself
  net: add a sysctl to opt out of virtio net hdr checksum validation
	- reducing risk of the fix by adding a sysctl to disable it
  net: add ip4_parse()
  virtio_net: cleanup protocol calculation
	- cleanup resulting code duplication
	 (kept separate to simplify backporting)

Fixes: f43798c27684 ("tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr")

Changes since v1:
	- reorder patches to fix bisectability, addressing
	  a comment by Björn Töpel.
	- code refactoring, different patch splitup,
	  a sysctl knob to disable as suggested by Willem de Bruijn.
	- fix a bunch of minor issues spotted by LLMs

[PATCH net-next v2 1/7] net: account for ingress-resolved virtio net hdr state

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

The following patch will add ingress resolution of uncommon virtio net
hdr checksum metadata (software checksum completion at ingress) which
adds performance overhead to the packet processing.

We should make it visible, so a hypothetical workload relying on
uncommon metadata can be distinguished from none at all. This way issues
in the parsing will be reported and not quietly pay the host-CPU
checksum overhead instead of offload.

Flip every call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb to test for negative errno
only, and have tun count these events per device as rx_csum_sw, exposed
via ethtool -S.

[PATCH net-next v2 2/7] um: vector: honor virtio net hdr conversion failures

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() refuses packets whose checksum metadata
it cannot make sense of, but the vector raw transport ignored
its return value: rejected packets went on into the stack with
their metadata unvalidated.

Propagate the failure.

[PATCH net-next v2 3/7] um: vector: trim skbs before verifying the header

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

The vector receive path over-allocates the skb and only trims it
to the received length after the transport header is verified.

A follow up patch will complete the packet checksum in software within
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb so we need the packet trimmed (otherwise the
checksum would be computed incorrectly over the unreceived tail of the
buffer).

Trim first, so the import sees the packet as it was received.

[PATCH net-next v2 4/7] net: resolve uncommon partial checksums at ingress

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

As reported first by Paulos Yibelo <habte.yibelo@gmail.com> (after which
others, credited below, found more ways the bug can affect users) a
virtio net header can place CHECKSUM_PARTIAL at any in-packet offset.
If that state is retained, later checksum completion can modify the
packet after protocol processing has made decisions from it.

Let's fix that: let's validate csum_start and csum_offset and only keep
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL when csum_start and csum_offset match a parsed TCP or
UDP header, while handling VLAN headers, IPv4 options and IPv6 extension
headers.  Complete other non-GSO checksums immediately, before any
protocol processing runs.

We can't easily "complete the checksum" for GSO we don't recognize - GSO
assumes knowledge of the protocol. We could segment ignoring the
checksum then do whatever csum_start and csum_offset say, but that
seems like an overkill for something that shouldn't happen.

There's some risk here:
- non-gso packets which can't be parsed get checksum calculated in
  software, adding performance overhead
- gso packets which can't be parsed get dropped

To mitigate the risks, the following patch will add a sysctl knob to
bypass the resolution. This is reasonable if the setup is such that
there is no protocol processing at all.

UDP tunnel headers get the same handling on the inner header.

Packets without VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM are unaffected.

[PATCH net-next v2 5/7] net: add a sysctl to opt out of virtio net hdr checksum validation

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

The ingress validation as implemented by the previous
patch is stricter than what it replaced: GSO
packets whose checksum metadata matches no transport header are
dropped, and non-GSO ones get their checksum completed in place.
Such packets used to pass with the metadata unvalidated,
and with no overhead.

I judge that this should not affect any deployments, but there is still
some risk that it does.  In case a deployment depends on them anyway,
provide a per-netns switch to get the old behavior back:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/core/virtio_net_hdr_csum_check

The default is validating.

+-------------------------
+
+When processing packets with a virtio net header (through tun, tap, a
+packet socket or a virtio network device) that request checksum offload
+(VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM), validate the packet: complete the checksum
+in software, or drop the packet where the header does not match it.
+
+When disabled, the header is trusted not to corrupt the packet, and the
+checksum is offloaded to hardware (or not verified if it never reaches
+hardware). This is only safe if no protocol is processing the packets.

[PATCH net-next v2 6/7] net: add ip4_parse()

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Multiple places in the net stack open-code the same minimal IPv4 header
validation: pull the fixed header, check version 4 and IHL >= 5 (where 5
is the fixed header size in 32-bit units) - and locate the transport
header at IHL * 4 past the network header.

Add a helper for doing that: it returns the validated header and
the transport header offset, or NULL if truncated or malformed.

Seems it'd be simpler to just

	return virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(...);

As far as I can tell, the function only returns -EINVAL or 0 (never a
positive value), and the caller only cares about negative (error) or
positive (no checksum needed), so that'd be equivalent?

if raw_verify_header can safely return any errno - i did not want to
audit it.

You already used an LLM and still didn't want to? ;-)

I checked briefly (by hand) and it seems fine, it's assigned to the
function pointer, which only has two callers on the _kern.c side.
