Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] net/l2tp: Add missing sa_family validation in pppol2tp_sockaddr_get_info
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:26:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020212639.1223484-2-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020212125.make.115-kees@kernel.org>
While reviewing the struct proto_ops connect() and bind() callback
implementations, I noticed that there doesn't appear to be any
validation that AF_PPPOX sockaddr structures actually have sa_family set
to AF_PPPOX. The pppol2tp_sockaddr_get_info() checks only look at the
sizes.
I don't see any way that this might actually cause problems as specific
info fields are being populated, for which the existing size checks are
correct, but it stood out as a missing address family check.
Add the check and return -EAFNOSUPPORT on mismatch.
