net: Fix references to out-of-scope variables in put_cmsg_compat()
[ Upstream commit 818810472b129004c16fc51bf0a570b60776bfb7 ] In net/compat.c::put_cmsg_compat() we may assign 'data' the address of either the 'ctv' or 'cts' local variables inside the 'if (!COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)' branch. Those variables go out of scope at the end of the 'if' statement, so when we use 'data' further down in 'copy_to_user(CMSG_COMPAT_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct compat_cmsghdr))' there's no telling what it may be refering to - not good. Fix the problem by simply giving 'ctv' and 'cts' function scope. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
