[PATCH] netlink: add buffer boundary checking

From: Mark Salyzyn
Date: Thu Jul 23 2020 - 14:22:06 EST


Many of the nla_get_* inlines fail to check attribute's length before
copying the content resulting in possible out-of-boundary accesses.
Adjust the inlines to perform nla_len checking, for the most part
using the nla_memcpy function to faciliate since these are not
necessarily performance critical and do not need a likely fast path.
