From a0b277b4fdcbc24c26af7c5d019e9448a51c79cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 17:27:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ip_route_input panic fix (CVE-2006-1525) This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6388 The bug is caused by ip_route_input dereferencing skb->nh.protocol of the dummy skb passed dow from inet_rtm_getroute (Thanks Thomas for seeing it). It only happens if the route requested is for a multicast IP address. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
