[iproute PATCH v3 0/3] Check user supplied interface name lengths

[iproute PATCH v3 0/3] Check user supplied interface name lengths

[Phil Sutter]

This series adds explicit checks for user-supplied interface names to
make sure they fit Linux's requirements.

The first two patches simplify interface name parsing in some places -
these are side-effects of working on the actual implementation provided
in patch three.

Changes since v2:
- Changed patch 3 as suggested in review.

Changes since v1:
- Patches 1 and 2 introduced.
- Changes to patch 3 are listed in there.

[iproute PATCH v3 1/3] ip{6,}tunnel: Avoid copying user-supplied interface name around

[Phil Sutter]

In both files' parse_args() functions as well as in iptunnel's do_prl()
and do_6rd() functions, a user-supplied 'dev' parameter is uselessly
copied into a temporary buffer before passing it to ll_name_to_index()
or copying into a struct ifreq.  Avoid this by just caching the argv
pointer value until the later lookup/strcpy.

[iproute PATCH v3 2/3] tc: flower: No need to cache indev arg

[Phil Sutter]

Since addattrstrz() will copy the provided string into the attribute
payload, there is no need to cache the data.

[iproute PATCH v3 3/3] Check user supplied interface name lengths

[Phil Sutter]

The original problem was that something like:

| strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, *argv, IFNAMSIZ);

might leave ifr.ifr_name unterminated if length of *argv exceeds
IFNAMSIZ. In order to fix this, I thought about replacing all those
cases with (equivalent) calls to snprintf() or even introducing
strlcpy(). But as Ulrich Drepper correctly pointed out when rejecting
the latter from being added to glibc, truncating a string without
notifying the user is not to be considered good practice. So let's
excercise what he suggested and reject empty, overlong or otherwise
invalid interface names right from the start - this way calls to
strncpy() like shown above become safe and the user has a chance to
reconsider what he was trying to do.

Note that this doesn't add calls to check_ifname() to all places where
user supplied interface name is parsed. In many cases, the interface
must exist already and is therefore looked up using ll_name_to_index(),
so if_nametoindex() will perform the necessary checks already.

Changes since v2:
- Change implementation of check_ifname() and add get_ifname() just as
  Stephen suggested with one exception: Call strncpy() with length of
  IFNAMSIZ, otherwise it might leave destination unterminated.
- Change callers accordingly.

Changes since v1:
- Added missing check to tc/f_flower.c.
- Drop some useless checks from ip/ip{6,}tunnel.c (ll_name_to_index()
  will detect illegal interface names for us).
- Renamed assert_valid_dev_name() to the shorter check_ifname().
- iplink: Check 'name' and 'dev' parameters right where they are parsed.
- ipl2tp: Drop needless check for p->ifname[0].
