Subject: [PATCH v2] CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file
Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2010 11:54:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1293382493.9764.54.camel@Dan> (raw)
Since the socket address is just being used as a unique identifier, its
inode number is an alternative that does not leak potentially sensitive
information.
CC-ing stable because MITRE has assigned CVE-2010-4565 to the issue.
