Description Matthias Kaehlcke 2007-04-16 14:34:19 UTC
Problem Description:

sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old() in net/sctp/socket.c calls copy_to_user()
while the spinlock addr_lock is held. this should not be done as copy_to_user()
might sleep. the call to sctp_copy_laddrs_to_user() while holding the lock is
also problematic as it calls copy_to_user()
