Subject: [PATCH] bridge-netfilter: don't overwrite memory outside of skb
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 17:19:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060822171928.7ed34b86@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060822161628.2d69cf76@localhost.localdomain>

The bridge netfilter code needs to check for space at the
front of the skb before overwriting; otherwise if skb from
device doesn't have headroom, then it will cause random
memory corruption.
