Description

tipc: Return non-zero value from tipc_udp_addr2str() on error

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: Return non-zero value from tipc_udp_addr2str() on error

tipc_udp_addr2str() should return non-zero value if the UDP media

address is invalid. Otherwise, a buffer overflow access can occur in

tipc_media_addr_printf(). Fix this by returning 1 on an invalid UDP

media address.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability high.
