Subject: [PATCH v2] ipv4: netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:32:29 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110317113229.GA7710@albatros> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D7F5CAC.6070006@trash.net>
'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.
It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
