Hello,

Last November a bug was found in iproute. CAN-2003-0856 has more information.
Basically, netlink packets can come from any user. If a program performs action
based on netlink packets, they must be examined to make sure they came from the
place they are expected (the kernel).

Attached is a patch against pre8. Please apply this before releasing 1.00 final.
All users of busy box may be vulnerable to local attacks without it.

Best Regards,
Steve Grubb

0f08e53535 Patch from Lars Kellogg-Stedman:
I'm building BusyBox using a development kit for MontaVista Hardhat Linux
(PPC) -- which, at least in this instance, is based around kernel 2.2.14.
I've had to massage a few files in networking/libiproute/ to make it
compile.  Specifically:

  (1) Added a #include <sys/uio.h> for the iovec structure in
      libnetlink.c,

  (2) Put ifdefs in ll_types.c and ll_proto.c around various
      constants (ETH_P_xxx and ARPHRD_xxx) that weren't defined,

  (3) Make do_changename() in iplink.c require a kernel >=
      2.4.0 -- the ifr structure in my environment doesn't
      have the ifr_name attribute.  I've assumed this is
      a kernel dependency -- let me know if I ought to be
      checking something else.

      In the absence of the correct kernel, do_changename()
      always returns 0.

Attached is a patch against the current CVS that will make these changes.
