Subject: [PATCH] bridge: netfilter: fix information leak
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:54:35 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297680875-11663-1-git-send-email-segoon@openwall.com> (raw)
Struct tmp is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether the "name"
field is NULL terminated. This may lead to buffer overflow and passing
contents of kernel stack as a module name to try_then_request_module() and,
consequently, to modprobe commandline. It would be seen by all userspace
processes.
