[PATCH] net: rtnetlink: bail out from rtnl_fdb_dump() on parse error

From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Tue May 23 2017 - 07:20:41 EST


rtnl_fdb_dump() failed to check the result of nlmsg_parse(), which led
to contents of |ifm| being uninitialized because nlh->nlmsglen was too
small to accommodate |ifm|. The uninitialized data may affect some
branches and result in unwanted effects, although kernel data doesn't
seem to leak to the userspace directly.

The bug has been detected with KMSAN and syzkaller.
