[PATCH] tipc: validate length of sockaddr in connect() for dgram/rdm

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Mar 23 2015 - 15:30:45 EST


Commit f2f8036 ("tipc: add support for connect() on dgram/rdm sockets")
hasn't validated user input length for the sockaddr structure which allows
a user to overwrite kernel memory with arbitrary input.
