4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Commit 3eee23c3ec14 ("usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address") backported the following commit from mailine. However, backport error caused the tcp_socket address to still leak. commit 2f2d0088eb93 ("usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address") When a client has a USB device attached over IP, the vhci_hcd driver is locally leaking a socket pointer address via the /sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status file (world-readable) and in debug output when "usbip --debug port" is run. Fix it to not leak. The socket pointer address is not used at the moment and it was made visible as a convenient way to find IP address from socket pointer address by looking up /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6}. As this opens a security hole, the fix replaces socket pointer address with sockfd.
