Description Marcel Holtmann 2006-03-22 14:53:08 UTC

It appears sockaddr_in.sin_zero is not zeroed during certain operations
returning IPv4 socket names, namely:

- getsockopt(...SO_ORIGINAL_DST...) (2.4 and 2.6)
  see getorigdst() in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c
  (+ in net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c in 2.6?!)

- getsockname() and getpeername() (and accept()) (2.4 only)
  see inet_getname() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c

and several unitialized bytes of kernel stack (sizeof(sin_zero) == 6 to be
precise) leak to the userspace.
