From fd819bdaa91422cf6b568bb76c40d0e5d8fbddaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olaf Hering Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 16:40:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Tools: hv: verify origin of netlink connector message commit bcc2c9c3fff859e0eb019fe6fec26f9b8eba795c upstream. The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.
