From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 15:42:35 +0000 (+0000) Subject: generic: workaround arptables arpt_arp structure padding issue (#14577) X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d725aab9ac991f336790dff98fa4ad62afc4f0a;p=librecmc%2Flibrecmc.git generic: workaround arptables arpt_arp structure padding issue (#14577) Linaro GCC 4.6-2013.05 incorrectly pads the arpt_arp structure on at least the ar71xx target, resulting in a two bytes shorter struct in the kernel compared to what arptables userspace expects. When comparing sizeof(struct arpt_arp) in kernel and userspace, the former yields 162 byte, while the latter is 164 byte. As a consequence, the subsequent target_offset and next_offset members of the parent arpt_entry structure contain invalid values when processed by the arptables binary, leading to bad memory accesses in the populate_cache() procedure, subsequently causing a segfault.
