Comment 5 for bug 365539

Based on Roman's comment that a patch was merged for 2.6.29, I've confirmed this patch is indeed in the latest Karmic Alpha kernel (see commit id below). I'm marking this Fix Released for Karmic which will target a 2.6.31 kernel and has most recently rebased with 2.6.31-rc2 from upstream. Images are available for testing at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . Thanks.

    netfilter: xt_recent: fix stack overread in compat code

    Related-to: commit 325fb5b4d26038cba665dd0d8ee09555321061f0

    The compat path suffers from a similar problem. It only uses a __be32
    when all of the recent code uses, and expects, an nf_inet_addr
    everywhere. As a result, addresses stored by xt_recents were
    filled with whatever other stuff was on the stack following the be32.
