This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: __skb_flow_dissect() must cap its return value to the 4.8-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-__skb_flow_dissect-must-cap-its-return-value.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Nov 18 11:35:46 CET 2016 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2016 16:04:46 -0800 Subject: net: __skb_flow_dissect() must cap its return value From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 34fad54c2537f7c99d07375e50cb30aa3c23bd83 ] After Tom patch, thoff field could point past the end of the buffer, this could fool some callers. If an skb was provided, skb->len should be the upper limit. If not, hlen is supposed to be the upper limit.
