Subject: [PATCH 1/4] net: check for reference outside of skb
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:00:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100802220113.557212477@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100802220030.991706005@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: u32-header-pointer.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 555 bytes --]

It is legitimate for callers of skb_header_pointer to pass a negative
offset, but the resulting pointer should not go outside the valid
range of data in the skb.
