From 2f2d0088eb93db5c649d2a5e34a3800a8a935fc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shuah Khan Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 14:16:49 -0700 Subject: usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address When a client has a USB device attached over IP, the vhci_hcd driver is locally leaking a socket pointer address via the /sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status file (world-readable) and in debug output when "usbip --debug port" is run. Fix it to not leak. The socket pointer address is not used at the moment and it was made visible as a convenient way to find IP address from socket pointer address by looking up /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6}. As this opens a security hole, the fix replaces socket pointer address with sockfd.
