Subject: Re: [FD] popo/popo2 linux kernel vulns

Hello KJ Jung,

neither of the mails you sent contain bugs.
The kernel code is sound and the vulnerabilities you reported don't seem 
to exist.

In your first mail (popo:: linux kernel vulns of it),
you point out a flaw in bond_do_ioctl() and bond_set_dev_addr().

>              // [4]:: x90: Trigger point: slave_dev->dev_addr,
> slave_dev->addr_len two variables controlled by user in memcpy

>   622        memcpy(bond_dev->dev_addr, slave_dev->dev_addr,
> slave_dev->addr_len);

It is impossible to set slave_dev->dev_addr to arbitrary values userspace.
The value will be chosen from a handful of fixed hardware address lengths.
None will exceed the length of the buffer that bond_dev->dev_addr points to,
which is always 32 (include/linux/netdevice.h MAX_ADDR_LEN).

In your second email, you report a vulnerability in tun_chr_ioctl()

As you can clearly see, ifreq_len is set to the actual size of struct 
ifreq here.

Which means that this piece of code is not exploitable.
There is no way to set ifreq_len from userspace.

Please refrain from sending invalid bug reports.
