If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0448baee71329faff72f18e9a69b9fb39bfdb0fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 00:27:20 +0300 Subject: net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr() From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1661bf364ae9c506bc8795fef70d1532931be1e8 ] We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr(). It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to exploit this bug.
