Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: fix ip header ident selection in __ip_make_skb()
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:26:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345483605.5158.345.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Christian Casteyde reported a kmemcheck 32-bit read from uninitialized
memory in __ip_select_ident().
It turns out that __ip_make_skb() called ip_select_ident() before
properly initializing iph->daddr.
This is a bug uncovered by commit 1d861aa4b3fb (inet: Minimize use of
cached route inetpeer.)
