do_ip_vs_set_ctl() is referencing uninitialized stack value when `len` is

Which exact 'cmd' is it here?

I _guess_ it is one of those uninitialized in set_arglen[], which is 0.
But if that is the case, should it be initialized to
sizeof(struct ip_vs_service_user) instead because ip_vs_copy_usvc_compat()
is called anyway. Or, maybe we should just ban len==0 case.

In either case, it does not look like you fix it correctly.

Thanks.

Yes, it was `IP_VS_SO_SET_NONE`, implicitly initialized to zero.

I see. I think the latter would be easier, but we cannot ban all of
them, since the function does something with `IP_VS_SO_SET_FLUSH`, which
is a `len == 0` case.

Maybe we do something like this?

Yes, only IP_VS_SO_SET_FLUSH uses len 0. We can go with
this change but you do not need to target net tree, as the
problem is not fatal net-next works too. What happens is
that we may lookup services with random search keys which
is harmless.

Another option is to add new block after this one:

} else if (cmd == IP_VS_SO_SET_TIMEOUT) {
/* Set timeout values for (tcp tcpfin udp) */
ret = ip_vs_set_timeout(ipvs, (struct ip_vs_timeout_user *)arg);
goto out_unlock;
}

such as:

} else if (!len) {
/* No more commands with len=0 below */
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_unlock;
}

It give more chance for future commands to use len=0
but the drawback is that the check happens under mutex. So, I'm
fine with both versions, it is up to you to decide :)

I see, I'll target net-next instead.

Ah, this seems much cleaner. I'll send v2 soon, thank you!

Changes in v2:
- Target net-next tree. (Suggested by Julian Anastasov <j...@ssi.bg>)
- Reject all `len == 0` requests except `IP_VS_SO_SET_FLUSH`, instead
of initializing `arg`. (Suggested by Cong Wang

Pablo, could you consider this for nf-next or should we repost when
net-next re-opens?

No worries, it will sit in netfilter's patchwork until net-next
reopens.
