[PATCH 2.6.32 12/55] l2tp: fix another panic in pppol2tp

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Fri Mar 04 2016 - 11:17:35 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>

Commit 3feec9095d1 ("l2tp: Fix oops in pppol2tp_xmit") was backported
into 2.6.32.16 to fix a possible null deref in pppol2tp. But the same
still exists in pppol2tp_sendmsg() possibly causing the same crash.
Note that this bug doesn't appear to have any other impact than crashing
the system, as the dereferenced pointer is only used to test a value
against a 3-bit mask, so it can hardly be abused for anything except
leaking one third of a bit of memory.

This issue doesn't exist upstream because the code was replaced in 2.6.35
and the new function l2tp_xmit_skb() performs the appropriate check.
