tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS

2013-03-27T02:41:03Z

commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream. The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza Acked-by: K. Y.

tools/hv: Fix exit() error code

2012-10-17T02:48:21Z

commit 6bb22fea25624ab593eee376fa5fb82d1b13f45a upstream. Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values. exit(-1) results in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting 'command not found'. Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE. (Not that this matters much for a daemon.) Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman [bwh: Backported to 3.2: drop changes to exit() calls not in this version]

Tools: hv: verify origin of netlink connector message

2012-07-04T04:44:05Z

commit bcc2c9c3fff859e0eb019fe6fec26f9b8eba795c upstream. The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.

Staging: hv: move hyperv code out of staging directory

2011-10-11T04:52:55Z

After many years wandering the desert, it is finally time for the Microsoft HyperV code to move out of the staging directory. Or at least the core hyperv bus code, and the utility driver, the rest still have some review to get through by the various subsystem maintainers. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: K.
