[PATCH net] net: openvswitch: fix nested key length validation in the set() action
From: Ilya Maximets
Date: Sat Apr 12 2025 - 06:41:15 EST
It's not safe to access nla_len(ovs_key) if the data is smaller than
the netlink header. Check that the attribute is OK first.
Fixes: ccb1352e76cf ("net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.")
