CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file
Since the socket address is just being used as a unique identifier, its inode number is an alternative that does not leak potentially sensitive information. CC-ing stable because MITRE has assigned CVE-2010-4565 to the issue. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com> Acked-by: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
