Subject: [34-longterm 040/196] netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@...nwall.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 961ed183a9fd080cf306c659b8736007e44065a5 upstream.

'buffer' string is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated.  This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.

It was introduced before the git epoch.  Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
