[PATCH] bridge: netfilter: fix information leak

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Struct tmp is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether the "name"
field is NULL terminated.  This may lead to buffer overflow and passing
contents of kernel stack as a module name to try_then_request_module() and,
consequently, to modprobe commandline.  It would be seen by all userspace
processes.
