net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()
We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr(). It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to exploit this bug. The call tree is: ___sys_recvmsg() move_addr_to_user() audit_sockaddr() __audit_sockaddr() Reported-by: Jüri Aedla <juri.aedla@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
