From 3f8dd9446e66f2a982ddcff38e4705cfe93eeec6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:09:29 -0500 Subject: tipc: Prevent invalid memory access when sending to configuration service Reject TIPC configuration service messages without a full message header. Previously, an application that sent a message to the configuration service that was too short could cause the validation code to access an uninitialized field in the msghdr structure, resulting in a memory access exception.
