From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 1cdda91871470f15e79375991bd2eddc6e86ddb1 ] Currently, the egress interface index specified via IPV6_PKTINFO is ignored by __ip6_datagram_connect(), so that RFC 3542 section 6.7 can be subverted when the user space application calls connect() before sendmsg(). Fix it by initializing properly flowi6_oif in connect() before performing the route lookup.
