[PATCH] netlink: Do not subscribe to non-existent groups

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Fri Jul 27 2018 - 11:54:51 EST


Make ABI more strict about subscribing to group > ngroups.
Code doesn't check for that and it looks bogus.
(one can subscribe to non-existing group)
Still, it's possible to bind() to all possible groups with (-1)
