[PATCH 3.16 139/192] l2tp: avoid use-after-free caused by l2tp_ip_backlog_recv

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

 



3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Hüber <phueber@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 51fb60eb162ab84c5edf2ae9c63cf0b878e5547e upstream.

l2tp_ip_backlog_recv may not return -1 if the packet gets dropped.
The return value is passed up to ip_local_deliver_finish, which treats
negative values as an IP protocol number for resubmission.
