From 1c95df85ca49640576de2f0a850925957b547b84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neal Cardwell Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2012 19:43:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the request_sock. With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16 bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.
