From c16a98ed91597b40b22b540c6517103497ef8e74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:49:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: tcp: fix panic in SYN processing commit 72a3effaf633bc ([NET]: Size listen hash tables using backlog hint) added a bug allowing inet6_synq_hash() to return an out of bound array index, because of u16 overflow. Bug can happen if system admins set net.core.somaxconn & net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog sysctls to values greater than 65536 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
