Nessus report the vf appears to leak memory in network packets.
Fix this by padding all small packets manually.

And the CVE-2003-0001.

So the patch description for this probably isn't correct.  It looks
like the problem isn't leaking data it is the fact that the frames
aren't being padded to prevent malicious events.  The only issue is
the patch is padding by a bit too much.  I would recommend replacing
this with the following from ixgbe:

        /*
         * The minimum packet size for olinfo paylen is 17 so pad the skb
         * in order to meet this minimum size requirement.
         */
        if (skb_put_padto(skb, 17))
                return NETDEV_TX_OK;

Hi,

Thanks for you reply.
We test you patch, but the problem is still there, it seems do not work.

I'm not sure why ixgbe use the limit 17. The kenel use ETH_ZLEN (60) 
with out FCS. A lot of drivers such as e1000 use it. Any explaination?

Thanks.

The limit of 17 is just based on the hardware.  Specifically the
olinfo field in the Tx descriptor has a minimum length of 17 has a
requirement.  The hardware itself is supposed to be capable of padding
short frames that are supposed to be transmitted.  The drivers are
supposed to pad short frames on receive to get them up to 60 bytes.

When you are seeing this issue are you sending frames from the VF to
one of the local interfaces on the same port or to an external
interface?  Also are you receiving on another linux ixgbevf driver or
are you receiving the packet using a different driver interface such
as DPDK?  I'm just wanting to verify this as it is possible that the
memory leak you are seeing is on the receiver and not on the source if
you are transmitting to a local VF or the PF as the receiver will have
to pad the frame in such a case to get it up to 60 bytes.

Thanks for you explanation, it's very professional.

My test is like this:
The Nessus is deployed on a windows server, the peer is a X86_64 linux 
host which run several VMs on it. The nic is Intel 82599 and SRIOV is 
enabled. VFs are passthroughed to the VMs. No DPDK.

The Nessus server send small ICMP echo request packets to the VM, and
then check the reply, and report the error:

"11197 - Multiple Ethernet Driver Frame Padding Information Disclosure 
(Etherleak)"

"Padding observed in one frame :

0x00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 57 37 28 .............W7(
0x10: 76 v

Padding observed in another frame :

0x00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 4D 75 ..............Mu
0x10: 28 ("

I only have Nessus's windows version, so can't test on linux. Maybe the 
windows server does not pad small packets to 60 bytes on the receive path.

I find it curious that only the last 4 bytes have data in them.  I'm
wondering if the NIC/driver in the Windows/Nessus system is
interpreting the 4 byte CRC on the end of the frame as padding instead
of stripping it.

Is there any chance you could capture the entire frame instead of just
the padding?  Maybe you could run something like wireshark without
enabling promiscuous mode on the VF and capture the frames it is
trying to send and receive.  What I want to verify is what the actual
amount of padding is that is needed to get to 60 bytes and where the
CRC should start.

Here is the verbose output, is this useful?
Or we will try according to your advice, thanks,

Yes that is much more helpful.  So looking at it things are being
padded but the last 4 bytes always have this extra data in them.  I've
been trying to recreate the issue on an 82599 with an SR-IOV VF and I
haven't been having much luck reproducing the problem.

In your test environment is the 82599 connected directly to the
Windows machine or are there any
switches/routers/gateways/tunnels/vlans in between?  I've tried
several iterations but with the 82599 connected directly to another
NIC I have I am not able to get it to produce the garbage padding you
are seeing. It makes me wonder if there might be something that is
manipulating the packets in between the two systems.  For example if
there was a VLAN being associated with the VF that is later stripped
and then the packet handed raw to the test system it might explain
what is introducing the extra padding and reason for pulling in the
CRC, and your patch would mask the issue since it would push the
minimum frame size with a VLAN to 68 instead of 64.
