Subject: netlabel: validate unlabeled address and mask attribute lengths
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9772589b57e44aedc240211c5c3f7a684a034d3a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

netlabel: validate unlabeled address and mask attribute lengths

netlbl_unlabel_addrinfo_get() used the address attribute length to
determine whether the attribute data could be read as an IPv4 or IPv6
address, but did not independently validate the corresponding mask
attribute length.  A crafted Generic Netlink request could therefore
provide a valid IPv4/IPv6 address attribute with a shorter mask
attribute, which would later be read as a full struct in_addr or
struct in6_addr.

NLA_BINARY policy lengths are maximum lengths by default, so use
NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() for the unlabeled IPv4/IPv6 address and mask
attributes.  This rejects short attributes during policy validation and
also exposes the exact length requirements through policy introspection.
