This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled udp6: fix potential access to stale information to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: udp6-fix-potential-access-to-stale-information.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 75fd8317c57866768812508c3b80ffaeda232142 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 12 13:03:08 2023 +0000 udp6: fix potential access to stale information [ Upstream commit 1c5950fc6fe996235f1d18539b9c6b64b597f50f ] lena wang reported an issue caused by udpv6_sendmsg() mangling msg->msg_name and msg->msg_namelen, which are later read from ____sys_sendmsg() : /* * If this is sendmmsg() and sending to current destination address was * successful, remember it. */ if (used_address && err >= 0) { used_address->name_len = msg_sys->msg_namelen; if (msg_sys->msg_name) memcpy(&used_address->name, msg_sys->msg_name, used_address->name_len); } udpv6_sendmsg() wants to pretend the remote address family is AF_INET in order to call udp_sendmsg(). A fix would be to modify the address in-place, instead of using a local variable, but this could have other side effects. Instead, restore initial values before we return from udpv6_sendmsg().
