Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Subject: [ 33/62] pktgen: fix crash when generating IPv6 packets 3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Amerigo Wang <amwang@...hat.com> commit 5aa8b572007c4bca1e6d3dd4c4820f1ae49d6bb2 upstream. For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.
