[PATCH net 0/2] l2tp: l2tp_ppp must ignore non-PPP sessions

From: Guillaume Nault <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-15 13:39:18

The original L2TP code was written for version 2 of the protocol, which
could only carry PPP sessions. Then L2TPv3 generalised the protocol so that
it could transport different kinds of pseudo-wires. But parts of the
l2tp_ppp module still break in presence of non-PPP sessions.

Assuming L2TPv2 tunnels can only transport PPP sessions is right, but
l2tp_netlink failed to ensure that (fixed in patch 1).
When retrieving a session from an arbitrary tunnel, l2tp_ppp needs to
filter out non-PPP sessions (last occurrence fixed in patch 2).


Guillaume Nault (2):
  l2tp: reject creation of non-PPP sessions on L2TPv2 tunnels
  l2tp: filter out non-PPP sessions in pppol2tp_tunnel_ioctl()
