Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipset: harden payload calculation in call_ad()
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:01:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313180132.75655-1-davidbaum461@gmail.com> (raw)

call_ad() computes the netlink error payload size with
min(SIZE_MAX, sizeof(*errmsg) + nlmsg_len(nlh)), but min(SIZE_MAX, x)
is always x, so the guard is a no-op.

Replace it with an explicit negative-length check and
check_add_overflow() so the addition is validated before being passed
to nlmsg_new().
