Hi, while going through going netlink code I found out that netlink_bind() does not properly check bind parameters. I checked both 2.6.23-rc1 as well as 2.6.16.53, both are affected.
With a small test prog I wasn't able to crash my maschine though, but data was accessed out of bounds. Please apply the attached patch. Thanks. /holger - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
