From 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomas Hozza Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2012 10:53:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza Acked-by: K. Y.
