[PATCH 036/118] llc: Fix missing msg_namelen update in llc_ui_recvmsg()
From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue May 07 2013 - 10:12:24 EST
3.5.7.12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c77a4b9cffb6215a15196ec499490d116dfad181 upstream.
For stream sockets the code misses to update the msg_namelen member
to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized
sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack
memory. The msg_namelen update is also missing for datagram sockets
in case the socket is shutting down during receive.
Fix both issues by setting msg_namelen to 0 early. It will be
updated later if we're going to fill the msg_name member.
