> allows DoS
>
> Hi.
>
> After discussion with KY Srinivasan and Olaf Hering I'm sending you
> a patch for the HyperV KVP daemon distributed in linux kernel
> "tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c".
>
> There is an issue in the current daemon source causing hyperv kvp daemon
> to exit when it processes a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent
> from an untrusted local user.
>
> This patch is fixing this, so now the Netlink messages with a non-zero
> nl_pid source address are just ignored.
You don't want to send the patch as an attachment. Please send the patch
