[PATCH 03/08] NET: compat ifconf: fix limits

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 24 2006 - 23:07:55 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

A recent change to compat. dev_ifconf() in fs/compat_ioctl.c
causes ifconf data to be truncated 1 entry too early when copying it
to userspace. The correct amount of data (length) is returned,
but the final entry is empty (zero, not filled in).
The for-loop 'i' check should use <= to allow the final struct
ifreq32 to be copied. I also used the ifconf-corruption program
in kernel bugzilla #4746 to make sure that this change does not
re-introduce the corruption.
