    netfilter: arp_tables: fix infoleak to userspace · 42eab94f
    Vasiliy Kulikov authored
    Structures ipt_replace, compat_ipt_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 is
    introduced by 6b7d31fc (v2.6.15-rc1);  the third is introduced by
    6b7d31fc (v2.6.15-rc1).  To trigger the bug one should have
    CAP_NET_ADMIN.
