[ 183/184] irda: Fix missing msg_namelen update in

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

 



2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
 irda_recvmsg_dgram()

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set.
It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes
net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable
to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory.

Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared
about irda_recvmsg_dgram() not filling the msg_name in case it was
set.
