From dbb490b96584d4e958533fb637f08b557f505657 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Leach Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:58:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen When copying in a struct msghdr from the user, if the user has set the msg_namelen parameter to a negative value it gets clamped to a valid size due to a comparison between signed and unsigned values. Ensure the syscall errors when the user passes in a negative value. Signed-off-by: Matthew Leach Signed-off-by: David S.
