Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2010 11:54:53 -0500 From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@...curity.com> To: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@...tkopp.net>, Urs Thuermann <urs.thuermann@...kswagen.de>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, security@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH v2] CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file Since the socket address is just being used as a unique identifier, its inode number is an alternative that does not leak potentially sensitive information. CC-ing stable because MITRE has assigned CVE-2010-4565 to the issue.
