ipv6: netfilter: ip6_tables: fix infoleak to userspace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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 3bc3fe5 (v2.6.25-rc1);  the third is introduced by
6b7d31f (v2.6.15-rc1).  To trigger the bug one should have
CAP_NET_ADMIN.
