2.6.24-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ Upstream commit: 406a1d868001423c85a3165288e566e65f424fe6 The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code. It was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize. The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed and therefore it doesn't update its value. Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.
