From c30bc94758ae2a38a5eb31767c1985c0aae0950b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 00:07:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: validate NLA_MSECS length L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message. Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the size properly. Cc: Thomas Graf Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.
