commit 36d5fe6a000790f56039afe26834265db0a3ad4c upstream.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb.

[bwh: Backported to 3.13: skb_zerocopy() is new in 3.14, but was moved from a
static function in nfnetlink_queue. We need to patch that and its caller, but
not openvswitch.]

Fingers crossed :-) Applied, thanks Zoltan.

Could you please queue this for stable as well? It has CVE-2014-2568
assigned to it and I believe it is applicable to some of the trees.

It was applied to 3.13, but needs backporting to earlier versions. I
posted my attempt in
<1397429860.10849.86.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> but it needs
testing/reviewing.

This one is a different issue, although it is very similar.

Sorry for mixing these up. I believe this bug has been present since
zerocopy was added to nfqueue in Linux 3.10 (commit ae08ce002108). This
is the version I used for Debian's 3.13 branch, which might be usable
for older stable branches too.
Seems OK, thanks!


Ben.
