From 40521c939c106814166d9bc72f85e6aa5bfa868d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Rosenberg Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2010 06:54:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file commit 9f260e0efa4766e56d0ac14f1aeea6ee5eb8fe83 upstream. Since the socket address is just being used as a unique identifier, its inode number is an alternative that does not leak potentially sensitive information. CC-ing stable because MITRE has assigned CVE-2010-4565 to the issue. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg Acked-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: David S.
