Series [net,v1,1/2] netlink: let len field used to parse type-not-care nested attrs |

Commit Message

Lin Ma July 31, 2023, 12:13 p.m. UTC 
  The nla_for_each_nested parsing in function
nldev_stat_set_counter_dynamic_doit() does not check the length of the
attribute. This can lead to an out-of-attribute read and allow a
malformed nlattr (e.g., length 0) to be viewed as a 4 byte integer.

This patch leverages the newly introduced NLA_POLICY_NESTED_NO_TYPE
which sets the len field in nla_policy and allows the nlmsg_parse in
function nldev_stat_set_doit checks the nested length.

Fixes: 3c3c1f141639 ("RDMA/nldev: Allow optional-counter status configuration through RDMA netlink")
