CVE-2013-4162 (published 2013-07-29T13:59Z)

The udp_v6_push_pending_frames function in net/ipv6/udp.c in the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.10.3 makes an incorrect function call for pending data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted application that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 4.7 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-399
cwe_name: Resource Management Errors

msg: ipv6: call udp_push_pending_frames when uncorking a socket with AF_INET pending data

We accidentally call down to ip6_push_pending_frames when uncorking
pending AF_INET data on a ipv6 socket. This results in the following
splat (from Dave Jones):

This patch adds a check if the pending data is of address family AF_INET
and directly calls udp_push_ending_frames from udp_v6_push_pending_frames
if that is the case.

This bug was found by Dave Jones with trinity.

(Also move the initialization of fl6 below the AF_INET check, even if
not strictly necessary.)
