Subject: [PATCH 03/13] bridge: netfilter: fix information leak

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

Struct tmp is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether the "name"
field is NULL terminated.  This may lead to buffer overflow and passing
contents of kernel stack as a module name to try_then_request_module() and,
consequently, to modprobe commandline.  It would be seen by all userspace
processes.
