[PATCH 3.12 097/104] tipc: don't use memcpy to copy from user space

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 5c0a0fc81f4dc786b42c4fc9c7c72ba635406ab5 upstream.

tipc_msg_build() calls skb_copy_to_linear_data_offset() to copy data
from user space to kernel space. However, the latter function does
in its turn call memcpy() to perform the actual copying. This poses
an obvious security and robustness risk, since memcpy() never makes
any validity check on the pointer it is copying from.

To correct this, we the replace the offending function call with
a call to memcpy_fromiovecend(), which uses copy_from_user() to
perform the copying.
