From 15cdeadaa5d76009e20c7792aed69f5a73808f97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:17:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: fix a race in nf_ct_ext_create() As soon as rcu_read_unlock() is called, there is no guarantee current thread can safely derefence t pointer, rcu protected. Fix is to copy t->alloc_size in a temporary variable. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
