[ 74/82] batman-adv: bat_socket_read missing checks
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Mar 18 2013 - 00:47:25 EST
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Kot <pawlkt@xxxxxxxxx>
commit c00b6856fc642b234895cfabd15b289e76726430 upstream.
Writing a icmp_packet_rr and then reading icmp_packet can lead to kernel
memory corruption, if __user *buf is just below TASK_SIZE.
