From 49688c843101ba6275756505e81af45ef50f87d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 16:37:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER] arp_tables: Fix unaligned accesses. There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match(). The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs. The device name strings in the arp table entries are not guarenteed to be aligned enough to make this value, so just use byte-by-byte for both cases. Based upon a report by . Signed-off-by: David S.
