[PATCH] ipv4: netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Thu Mar 10 2011 - 13:12:32 EST


buffer string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().

It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
