Public bug reported:
SRU Justification
Impact:
The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.4.50 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
git://git.kernel.org/
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches from the v4.4.50 stable release shall be
applied:
can: Fix kernel panic at security_sock_rcv_skb
ipv6: fix ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim()
ipv6: pointer math error in ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim()
tcp: fix 0 divide in __tcp_select_window()
net: use a work queue to defer net_disable_timestamp() work
ipv4: keep skb->dst around in presence of IP options
netlabel: out of bound access in cipso_v4_validate()
ip6_gre: fix ip6gre_err() invalid reads
ipv6: tcp: add a missing tcp_v6_restore_cb()
tcp: avoid infinite loop in tcp_splice_read()
tun: read vnet_hdr_sz once
macvtap: read vnet_hdr_size once
mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule
sctp: avoid BUG_ON on sctp_wait_for_sndbuf
sit: fix a double free on error path
net: introduce device min_header_len
packet: round up linear to header len
ping: fix a null pointer dereference
l2tp: do not use udp_ioctl()
