From 5aa8b572007c4bca1e6d3dd4c4820f1ae49d6bb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amerigo Wang Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 17:48:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] pktgen: fix crash when generating IPv6 packets For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.
