Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:37:55 +0100 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk, Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@...i.de>, Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org> Subject: [ 142/147] netfilter: xt_limit: have r->cost != 0 case work 3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@...i.de> commit 82e6bfe2fbc4d48852114c4f979137cd5bf1d1a8 upstream. Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r->cost != 0 can happen when a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there. Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values. Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.
