This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled sock_diag: Fix out-of-bounds access to sock_diag_handlers[] to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From e83c00b5daeaeef5635926d9e907f100f1bfa419 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 01:13:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sock_diag: Fix out-of-bounds access to sock_diag_handlers[] commit 6e601a53566d84e1ffd25e7b6fe0b6894ffd79c0 upstream. Userland can send a netlink message requesting SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY with a family greater or equal then AF_MAX -- the array size of sock_diag_handlers[]. The current code does not test for this condition therefore is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access opening doors for a privilege escalation.
