From 32b25b63c222ff910834d577a6baa1f5a39b0a06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 12:43:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipc: fix potential oops when src msg > 4k w/ MSG_COPY commit e1082f45f1e2bbf6e25f6b614fc6616ebf709d19 upstream. If the src msg is > 4k, then dest->next points to the next allocated segment; resetting it just prior to dereferencing is bad.
