Subject: [PATCH] net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commit 1661bf364ae9c506bc8795fef70d1532931be1e8 upstream.

We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we
to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr().  It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to
exploit this bug.

The call tree is:
___sys_recvmsg()
  move_addr_to_user()
    audit_sockaddr()
      __audit_sockaddr()
