From 961ed183a9fd080cf306c659b8736007e44065a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasiliy Kulikov Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 15:42:52 +0100 Subject: netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow 'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul(). Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes. It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
