net: tipc: fix information leak to userland

2011-04-14T23:53:13+00:00

commit 88f8a5e3e7defccd3925cabb1ee4d3994e5cdb52 upstream.

Structure sockaddr_tipc is copied to userland with padding bytes after
"id" field in union field "name" unitialized.  It leads to leaking of
contents of kernel stack memory.  We have to initialize them to zero.

net: pass kern to net_proto_family create function

2009-11-06T06:18:14+00:00

The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20+00:00

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

tipc: Add socket options to get number of queued messages

2009-07-06T02:16:11+00:00

This patch allows a TIPC application to determine the number of messages
currently waiting in a socket's receive queue (TIPC_SOCK_RECVQ_DEPTH) or
in all TIPC socket receive queues (TIPC_NODE_RECVQ_DEPTH).

tipc: Fix race condition that could cause accept() to fail

2008-07-15T05:43:32+00:00

This patch ensurs that accept() returns successfully even when
the newly created socket is immediately disconnected by its peer.
Previously, accept() would fail if it was unable to pass back
the optional address info for the socket's peer before the
socket became disconnected; TIPC now allows accept() to gather
peer address information after disconnection.  As a bonus, the
revised code accesses the socket's port more efficiently, without
the overhead incurred by a reference table lookup.

2008-07-15T05:42:51+00:00

accessing a stream-based socket's receive queue.
