Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 01:05:51 +0000 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, Tomas Hozza <thozza@...hat.com>, "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@...rosoft.com>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: [ 027/104] tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS 3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tomas Hozza <thozza@...hat.com> commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream. The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza <thozza@...hat.com> Acked-by: K. Y.
