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).

The /proc/net/pppol2tp handlers (pppol2tp_seq_*()) iterate over all
L2TPv2 tunnels, and rightfully expect that only PPP sessions can be
found there. However, l2tp_netlink accepts creating Ethernet sessions
regardless of the underlying tunnel version.
This confuses pppol2tp_seq_session_show(), which expects that
l2tp_session_priv() returns a pppol2tp_session structure. When the
session is an Ethernet pseudo-wire, a struct l2tp_eth_sess is returned
instead. This leads to invalid memory access when
pppol2tp_session_get_sock() later tries to dereference ps->sk.

pppol2tp_tunnel_ioctl() can act on an L2TPv3 tunnel, in which case
'session' may be an Ethernet pseudo-wire.
However, pppol2tp_session_ioctl() expects a PPP pseudo-wire, as it
assumes l2tp_session_priv() points to a pppol2tp_session structure. For
an Ethernet pseudo-wire l2tp_session_priv() points to an l2tp_eth_sess
structure instead, making pppol2tp_session_ioctl() access invalid
memory.
