Subject: Tools: hv: verify origin of netlink connector message
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bcc2c9c3fff859e0eb019fe6fec26f9b8eba795c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Tools: hv: verify origin of netlink connector message

The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be
certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.
