[patch -next] net: writes past the end of the struct

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

 



There are a couple places that try to set part of the struct to 0 by
doing:

    memset(&rt->rt6i_table, 0, sizeof(*rt) - sizeof(struct dst_entry));

It assumes that the first element is a dst_entry and the second element
is ->rt6_table.  The problem is we changed the struct in 97cac0821a
('ipv6: Store route neighbour in rt6_info struct.') and we aren't
clearing rt->n but instead we're writing past the end of the array.

I've changed it to:
    memset(&rt->n, 0, sizeof(*rt) - offsetof(struct rt6_info, n));

The memset in ip6_dst_alloc() was ok but I changed it to use offsetof()
as a cleanup.
