Subject: [ 08/27] ipv6: fix possible crashes in ip6_cork_release()
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:35:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130625183518.652049731@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130625183517.651770593@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 284041ef21fdf2e0d216ab6b787bc9072b4eb58a ]

commit 0178b695fd6b4 ("ipv6: Copy cork options in ip6_append_data")
added some code duplication and bad error recovery, leading to potential
crash in ip6_cork_release() as kfree() could be called with garbage.

use kzalloc() to make sure this wont happen.
