Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: xt_limit: have r->cost != 0 case work
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:34:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348616051-5694-2-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348616051-5694-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>

Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r->cost != 0 can happen when
a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there.

Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values.
Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.
