Hello Kurt, if you check similar code sniplets in the kernel you would see, that in recvmsg()-cases the given namelen is not used from userspace. If msg->msg_name is not NULL the msg_namelen is just set by the kernel. E.g. see af_packet.c, af_econet.c, etc. So the code in candump.c setting the msg_namelen before recvmsg() is obviously obsolete ... Btw. your two patches below for bcm_sendmsg() and raw_sendmesg() look good. If you would like to resubmit these two patches, you may add my Acked-by Thanks, Oliver > diff --git a/net/can/bcm.c b/net/can/bcm.c > index 6faa825..dc0d5d6 100644 > --- a/net/can/bcm.c > +++ b/net/can/bcm.c > @@ -1256,6 +1256,9 @@ static int bcm_sendmsg(struct kiocb *iocb, struct > socket *sock, > struct sockaddr_can *addr = > (struct sockaddr_can *)msg->msg_name; > > + if (msg->msg_namelen < sizeof(*addr)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > if (addr->can_family != AF_CAN) > return -EINVAL; > > diff --git a/net/can/raw.c b/net/can/raw.c > index e88f610..e68a6d3 100644 > --- a/net/can/raw.c > +++ b/net/can/raw.c > @@ -649,6 +649,9 @@ static int raw_sendmsg(struct kiocb *iocb, struct socket > *sock, > struct sockaddr_can *addr = > (struct sockaddr_can *)msg->msg_name; > > + if (msg->msg_namelen < sizeof(*addr)) > + return -EINVAL; > + > if (addr->can_family != AF_CAN) > return -EINVAL; > _______________________________________________ Socketcan-core mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/socketcan-core
