From f53e38317d581399eb67809d6b6b6c2c107db50c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Zhou Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:17:44 -0700 Subject: openvswitch: Avoid memory corruption in queue_userspace_packet() In queue_userspace_packet(), the ovs_nla_put_flow return value is not checked. This is fine as long as key_attr_size() returns the correct value. In case it does not, the current code may corrupt buffer memory. Add a run time assertion catch this case to avoid silent failure.
