Hi:
The IPv4 stack, unlike IPv6, doesn't filter mcast groups for sockets only
bound to a port, but not an address, based on subscriptions. So even
if you only subscribe to a single group, but don't bind an address to the
socket, you'll receive all mcast dgrams delivered to the udp layer, i.e.,
all subscribed to groups no matter which application actually made the
subscription.
The following patch fixes the problem in a manner similar to the way the
IPv6 stack does it. It's against 2.4.19:
