From: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. -------------------
commit c30bc94758ae2a38a5eb31767c1985c0aae0950b upstream. 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 <tg...@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
