[PATCH v2] ipv4: netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Thu Mar 17 2011 - 07:32:45 EST


'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.
