From 0254e0c632bfe4a0cf610e2d90397474144f00d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:22:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: check dev->addr_len for dev_set_mac_address() Historically, dev_ifsioc() uses struct sockaddr as mac address definition, this is why dev_set_mac_address() accepts a struct sockaddr pointer as input but now we have various types of mac addresse whose lengths are up to MAX_ADDR_LEN, longer than struct sockaddr, and saved in dev->addr_len. It is too late to fix dev_ifsioc() due to API compatibility, so just reject those larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr), otherwise we would read and use some random bytes from kernel stack. Fortunately, only a few IPv6 tunnel devices have addr_len larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr) and they don't support ndo_set_mac_addr(). But with team driver, in lb mode, they can still be enslaved to a team master and make its mac addr length as the same. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
