From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
It seems pretty clear ppp layer assumed user space
would always be kind to provide enough data
in their write() to a ppp device.
This patch makes sure user provides at least
2 bytes.
It adds PPP_PROTO_LEN macro that could replace
in net-next many occurrences of hard-coded 2 value.
I replaced only one occurrence to ease backports
to stable kernels.
The bug manifests in the following report:
