[PATCH V3 net-next 0/5] add support for RFC 8335 PROBE

[PATCH V3 net-next 0/5] add support for RFC 8335 PROBE

[Andreas Roeseler]

The popular utility ping has several severe limitations such as the
inability to query specific interfaces on a node and requiring
bidirectional connectivity between the probing and probed interfaces.
RFC 8335 attempts to solve these limitations by creating the new utility
PROBE which is a specialized ICMP message that makes use of the ICMP
Extention Structure outlined in RFC 4884.

This patchset adds definitions for the ICMP Extended Echo Request and
Reply (PROBE) types for both IPV4 and IPV6, adds a sysctl to enable 
response to PROBE messages, expands the list of supported ICMP messages
to accommodate PROBE types, and adds functionality to respond to PROBE
requests.

Changes since v1:
 - Add AFI definitions
 - Switch to functions such as dev_get_by_name and ip_dev_find to lookup
   net devices 

Changes since v2:
Suggested by Willem de Brujin <willemdebrujin.kernel@gmail.com>
 - Add verification of incoming messages before looking up netdev
 - Add prefix for PROBE specific defined variables
 - Use proc_dointvec_minmax with zero and one  
 - Create struct icmp_ext_echo_iio for parsing incoming packet

[PATCH V3 net-next 3/5] net: add sysctl for enabling RFC 8335 PROBE messages

[Andreas Roeseler]

Section 8 of RFC 8335 specifies potential security concerns of
responding to PROBE requests, and states that nodes that support PROBE
functionality MUST be able to enable/disable responses and it is
disabled by default. 

Add sysctl to enable responses to PROBE messages.

[Andreas Roeseler]

allows tools such as the ping command in the iputils package to be
modified to send PROBE requests through the existing framework for

[PATCH V3 net-next 5/5] icmp: add response to RFC 8335 PROBE messages

[Andreas Roeseler]

Modify the icmp_rcv function to check for PROBE messages and call
icmp_echo if a PROBE request is detected.

Modify the existing icmp_echo function to respond to both ping and PROBE
requests.

This was tested using a custom modification of the iputils package and
wireshark. It supports IPV4 probing by name, ifindex, and probing by both IPV4 and IPV6
addresses. It currently does not support responding to probes off the proxy node
(See RFC 8335 Section 2).

Check that these fields exist (skb is not truncated).
skb_header_pointer is the safest approach.

For this and following point, see also ip_icmp_error_rfc4884_validate.

Negative overflow: cannot trust that extobj_hdr.length >=
sizeof(iio->extobj_hdr)

Also should check "If the Object Payload would not otherwise terminate
on a 32-bit boundary, it MUST be padded with ASCII NULL characters."

Can statically allocate on stack using IFNAMSIZ. Any ident_len > that

this checks that length is 4B, but RFC says "If the Interface
Identification Object identifies the probed interface by index, the
length is equal to 8 and the payload contains the if-index"

From function comment: "The caller should be protected by RCU, or
RTNL.". Is that the case here?

Also dependent on CONFIG_IPV6

This is an __rcu pointer, requires rcu_dereference, e.g., via __in_dev_get_rcu

ICMPv6 message 160 (ICMPV6_EXT_ECHO_REQUEST) must be handled in
icmpv6_rcv, not icmp_rcv. Then the ICMPv4 message 42 can be handled in
the usual way.

Can statically allocate on stack using IFNAMSIZ. Any ident_len > that

this checks that length is 4B, but RFC says "If the Interface
Identification Object identifies the probed interface by index, the
length is equal to 8 and the payload contains the if-index"

ident_len stores the value of the identifier of the interface only,
i.e. it stores the length of the iio minus the length of the iio
header. Therefore, we can check its size against the expected size of
an if_Index (4 octets)

From function comment: "The caller should be protected by RCU, or
RTNL.". Is that the case here?

Also dependent on CONFIG_IPV6

This is an __rcu pointer, requires rcu_dereference, e.g., via
__in_dev_get_rcu

ICMPv6 message 160 (ICMPV6_EXT_ECHO_REQUEST) must be handled in
icmpv6_rcv, not icmp_rcv. Then the ICMPv4 message 42 can be handled in
the usual way.


You are correct that we should handle ICMPV6_EXT_ECHO_REQUEST in the
icmpv6.c file, but shouldn't we still have a special handler for the
ICMPv4 message? The current icmp_pointers[].handler is an array of size
NR_ICMP_TYPES + 1 (or 19 elements), so I don't think it would be a good
idea to extend it to 42.

Great. Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting. So almost all numbers between NR_ICMP_TYPES (18) and 42
are deprecated:

  https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters/icmp-parameters.xhtml

Eventually we might get more extensions after 42. So you can go either way.
The table is the clean approach. But I see the practical point of extending it
for one case, too. The current branch approach looks fine to me.
