** Changed in: linux-ti-omap4 (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

- Fixed By:
+ The bond_select_queue function in drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c in the
+ Linux kernel before 2.6.39, when a network device with a large number of
+ receive queues is installed but the default tx_queues setting is used,
+ does not properly restrict queue indexes, which allows remote attackers
+ to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) or possibly have
+ unspecified other impact by sending network traffic.

-     bonding: Incorrect TX queue offset
-     
-     When packets come in from a device with >= 16 receive queues
-     headed out a bonding interface, syslog gets filled with this:
-     
-         kernel: bond0 selects TX queue 16, but real number of TX queues is 16
-     
-     because queue_mapping is offset by 1.  Adjust return value
-     to account for the offset.
-     
-     This is a revision of my earlier patch (which did not use the
-     skb_rx_queue_* helpers - thanks to Ben for the suggestion).
-     Andy submitted a similar patch which emits a pr_warning on
-     invalid queue selection, but I believe the log spew is
-     not useful.  We can revisit that question in the future,
-     but in the interim I believe fixing the core problem is
-     worthwhile.
