Dereferencing a user pointer directly from kernel-space without going through the copy_from_user family of functions is a bad idea. Two of such usages can be found in the sendmsg code path called from sendmmsg, added by commit c71d8ebe7a4496fb7231151cb70a6baa0cb56f9a upstream. commit 5b47b8038f183b44d2d8ff1c7d11a5c1be706b34 in the 3.0-stable tree. Usages are performed through memcmp() and memcpy() directly. Fix those by using the already copied msg_sys structure instead of the __user *msg structure. Note that msg_sys can be set to NULL by verify_compat_iovec() or verify_iovec(), which requires additional NULL pointer checks.
