From e0e6f55d298af03ab88bfe8455b671d29d78f426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jin Dongming Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 22:44:47 -0700 Subject: ipv6: Fix the size overflow of addrconf_sysctl array (This patch fixes bug of commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 title "make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable") When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the array addrconf_sysctl is used as a parameter of the function. The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl, but the size of the array was not modified, the static allocated size is DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is that the function sysctl_set_parent accessed wrong address. I got the following information. Call Trace: [] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [] sysctl_set_parent+0x29/0x3e [] __register_sysctl_paths+0xde/0x272 [] ? __kmalloc_track_caller+0x16e/0x180 [] ? __addrconf_sysctl_register+0xc5/0x144 [ipv6] [] register_net_sysctl_table+0x48/0x4b [] __addrconf_sysctl_register+0xf7/0x144 [ipv6] [] addrconf_init_net+0xd4/0x104 [ipv6] [] setup_net+0x35/0x82 [] copy_net_ns+0x76/0xe0 [] create_new_namespaces+0xf0/0x16e [] copy_namespaces+0x65/0x9f [] copy_process+0xb2c/0x12c3 [] do_fork+0x14b/0x2d2 [] ? up_read+0xe/0x10 [] ? do_page_fault+0x27a/0x2aa [] sys_clone+0x28/0x2a [] stub_clone+0x13/0x20 [] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b And the information of IPV6 in .config is as following. IPV6 in .config: CONFIG_IPV6=m CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF=y CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTE_INFO=y CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD=y CONFIG_IPV6_MIP6=m CONFIG_IPV6_SIT=m # CONFIG_IPV6_SIT_6RD is not set CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE=y CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL=m CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES=y CONFIG_IPV6_MROUTE=y CONFIG_IPV6_PIMSM_V2=y # CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is not set CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6=m CONFIG_IP6_NF_MATCH_IPV6HEADER=m I confirmed this patch fixes this problem.
