From 5bf5d453cd5479783020d2cd76138812de947106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 20:58:02 -0700 Subject: PKT_SCHED: Fix illegal memory dereferences when dumping actions The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its availability when dumping actions therefore leading to a value of 0x4 being dereferenced. The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe when fed with string from an attribute without enforcing proper NUL termination. Both bugs can be triggered with malformed netlink message and don't require any privileges. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
