This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt24. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 51c7ce8ae2a57a7e048f91fed1843096d0b2b593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 10:46:00 +0100 Subject: bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace commit ff62198553e43cdffa9d539f6165d3e83f8a42bc upstream. [I stole this patch from Eric Biederman. He wrote:] > There is no defined mechanism to pass network namespace information > into /sbin/bridge-stp therefore don't even try to invoke it except > for bridge devices in the initial network namespace. > > It is possible for unprivileged users to cause /sbin/bridge-stp to be > invoked for any network device name which if /sbin/bridge-stp does not > guard against unreasonable arguments or being invoked twice on the > same network device could cause problems.
