This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled atm: update msg_namelen in vcc_recvmsg() 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 a15cd0d4b7966cb778d5e99a981b8748c0ebc96f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 01:51:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] atm: update msg_namelen in vcc_recvmsg() commit 9b3e617f3df53822345a8573b6d358f6b9e5ed87 upstream. The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set. It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared about vcc_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set.
