Marc Dionne d5e0bb03d9 net: Save and restore msg_namelen in sock_sendmsg 
[ Upstream commit 01b2885d94 ]

Commit 86a7e0b69b ("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 1c5950fc6f ("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.

Fixes: 86a7e0b69b ("net: prevent rewrite of msg_name in sock_sendmsg()")

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.
