From 59f0c4523fdea865fab7d69d878269992a9d08dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 14:52:30 -0700 Subject: tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privileges This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.
