3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit 91edd096e224941131f896b86838b1e59553696a upstream. Commit db31c55a6fb2 (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error) introduced the clamping of msg_namelen when the unsigned value was larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). This caused a msg_namelen of -1 to be valid. The native code was subsequently fixed by commit dbb490b96584 (net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen). In addition, the native code sets msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is NULL. This was done in commit (6a2a2b3ae075 net:socket: set msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name is passed as NULL in msghdr struct from userland) and subsequently updated by 08adb7dabd48 (fold verify_iovec() into copy_msghdr_from_user()). This patch brings the get_compat_msghdr() in line with copy_msghdr_from_user(). Fixes: db31c55a6fb2 (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error) Cc: David S.
