[PATCH 3.12 35/94] net: sctp: check proc_dointvec result in proc_sctp_do_auth

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 24599e61b7552673dd85971cf5a35369cd8c119e ]

When writing to the sysctl field net.sctp.auth_enable, it can well
be that the user buffer we handed over to proc_dointvec() via
proc_sctp_do_auth() handler contains something other than integers.

In that case, we would set an uninitialized 4-byte value from the
stack to net->sctp.auth_enable that can be leaked back when reading
the sysctl variable, and it can unintentionally turn auth_enable
on/off based on the stack content since auth_enable is interpreted
as a boolean.

Fix it up by making sure proc_dointvec() returned sucessfully.
