tools/hv: Fix string types

2012-11-15T23:39:59Z

tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS

2012-11-15T23:38:34Z

The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza Acked-by: K. Y.

Tools: hv: Don't return loopback addresses

2012-10-30T18:11:24Z

Don't return loopback addresses and further don't terminate the IP address strings with a semicolon. This is the current behavior of Windows guests. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Reported-by: Claudio Latini Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools: hv: Return the full kernel version

2012-10-30T18:11:24Z

Currently, we are returning the same string for both OSBuildNumber and OSVersion keys. Return the full uts string for the OSBuild key since Windows does not impose any restrictions on this.

tools/hv: Parse /etc/os-release

2012-09-10T23:43:32Z

There is a new convention, used by systemd and supported by most distributions, to put basic OS release information in /etc/os-release. Added some additional error checking on strdup() Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/hv: Check for read/write errors

2012-09-10T23:43:05Z

hv_kvp_daemon currently does not check whether fread() or fwrite() succeed. Add the necessary checks. Also, remove the incorrect use of feof() before fread(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/hv: Fix exit() error code

2012-09-10T23:43:05Z

Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values. exit(-1) results in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting 'command not found'. Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE. (Not that this matters much for a daemon.) Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/hv: Fix file handle leak

2012-09-10T23:43:05Z

Tools: hv: Implement the KVP verb - KVP_OP_GET_IP_INFO

2012-09-10T23:42:33Z

Tools: hv: Rename the function kvp_get_ip_address()

2012-09-10T23:42:33Z

Rename the function kvp_get_ip_address() to better reflect the functionality being implemented. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
