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

 



From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit ad0ea1989cc4d5905941d0a9e62c63ad6d859cef ]

Currently, ingress ipv4 broadcast datagrams are dropped since,
in udp_v4_early_demux(), ip_check_mc_rcu() is invoked even on
bcast packets.

This patch addresses the issue, invoking ip_check_mc_rcu()
only for mcast packets.

Fixes: 6e5403093261 ("ipv4/udp: Verify multicast group is ours in upd_v4_early_demux()")
