BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054406 [ Upstream commit 01b2885d9415152bcb12ff1f7788f500a74ea0ed ] Commit 86a7e0b69bd5 ("net: prevent rewrite of msg_name in sock_sendmsg()") made sock_sendmsg save the incoming msg_name pointer and restore it before returning, to insulate the caller against msg_name being changed by the called code. If the address length was also changed however, we may return with an inconsistent structure where the length doesn't match the address, and attempts to reuse it may lead to lost packets. For example, a kernel that doesn't have commit 1c5950fc6fe9 ("udp6: fix potential access to stale information") will replace a v4 mapped address with its ipv4 equivalent, and shorten namelen accordingly from 28 to 16. If the caller attempts to reuse the resulting msg structure, it will have the original ipv6 (v4 mapped) address but an incorrect v4 length.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
