[PATCH 6/6] ipv6: netfilter: ip6_tables: fix infoleak to userspace CVE-2011-1172

[paolo.pisati at canonical.com]

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon at openwall.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801483

commit upstream 6a8ab060779779de8aea92ce3337ca348f973f54

Structures ip6t_replace, compat_ip6t_replace, and xt_get_revision are
copied from userspace.  Fields of these structs that are
zero-terminated strings are not checked.  When they are used as argument
to a format string containing "%s" in request_module(), some sensitive
information is leaked to userspace via argument of spawned modprobe
process.

The first bug was introduced before the git epoch;  the second was
introduced in 3bc3fe5e (v2.6.25-rc1);  the third is introduced by
6b7d31fc (v2.6.15-rc1).  To trigger the bug one should have
CAP_NET_ADMIN.
