Subject[34-longterm 040/196] netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow
Date
From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 961ed183a9fd080cf306c659b8736007e44065a5 upstream.

'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.

It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
