This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: replace calls to sock->ops->connect() with kernel_connect() to the 6.5-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: net-replace-calls-to-sock-ops-connect-with-kernel_connect.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 26297b4ce1ce4ea40bc9a48ec99f45da3f64d2e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Rife <jrife@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 18:46:40 -0500 Subject: net: replace calls to sock->ops->connect() with kernel_connect() From: Jordan Rife <jrife@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 26297b4ce1ce4ea40bc9a48ec99f45da3f64d2e2 upstream. commit 0bdf399342c5 ("net: Avoid address overwrite in kernel_connect") ensured that kernel_connect() will not overwrite the address parameter in cases where BPF connect hooks perform an address rewrite. This change replaces direct calls to sock->ops->connect() in net with kernel_connect() to make these call safe.
