3.5.7.28 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit db31c55a6fb245fdbb752a2ca4aefec89afabb06 upstream. If kmsg->msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you had audit configured. If you didn't have audit configured it was harmless. There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too large of a buffer and returning an error code breaks them. We should clamp the ->msg_namelen value instead.
