Subject: [04/25] netlink: validate NLA_MSECS length
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:20:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111123002207.381859654@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111123002222.GA2376@kroah.com>

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

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.
