From 68c6beb373955da0886d8f4f5995b3922ceda4be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:14:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: add BUG_ON if kernel advertises msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) In that case it is probable that kernel code overwrote part of the stack. So we should bail out loudly here. The BUG_ON may be removed in future if we are sure all protocols are conformant.
