From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 417c3522b3202dacce4873cfb0190459fbce95c5 upstream. We don't need to check that ifr_data itself is a valid user pointer, but we should check &ifr_data is. Thankfully the copy of ifr_name is checked, so this can only leak a few bytes from immediately above the user address limit.
