[PATCH] setting ACLs on readonly mounted NFS filesystems (CVE-2005-3623)
We must check for MAY_SATTR before setting acls, which includes
checking for read-only exports: the lower-level setxattr operation
that eventually sets the acl cannot check export-level restrictions.

Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled
with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using

cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended
attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then
exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour:
llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17
llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of
range)
I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer
sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok
:)

calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can
oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.
However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.
This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.

[PATCH] airo.c/airo_cs.c: correct prototypes
This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global
functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c .
If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other
completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs
device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the
fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first
argument to init_airo_card()...

The max growth of BIC TCP is too large. Original code was based on
BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included
compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default
value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent.
The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other
flows.
[PATCH] USB: always export interface information for modalias
This fixes a problem with some cdc acm devices that were not getting
automatically loaded as the module alias was not being reported
properly.
This check was for back in the days when we only reported hotplug events
for the main usb device, not the interfaces. We should always give the
interface information for MODALIAS/modalias as it can be needed.

[PATCH] fix XFS_QUOTA for modular XFS
This patch by Dimitri Puzin submitted through kernel Bugzilla #5514
fixes the following issue:
Cannot build XFS filesystem support as module with quota support. It
works only when the XFS filesystem support is compiled into the kernel.
Menuconfig prevents from setting CONFIG_XFS_FS=m and CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.
How to reproduce: configure the XFS filesystem with quota support as
module. The resulting kernel won't have quota support compiled into
xfs.ko.
Fix: Changing the fs/xfs/Kconfig file from tristate to bool lets you
configure the quota support to be compiled into the XFS module. The
Makefile-linux-2.6 checks only for CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.

[PATCH] CVE-2005-2709 sysctl unregistration oops
You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your
function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.
So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.

[TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes
This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.
In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.
The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.
When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.
When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.
In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.
In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration

This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get

[PATCH] Fix HFS+ to free up the space when a file is deleted.
fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy

Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()

reminder that the driver is using an old API.
Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.
