Subject: [PULL 03/14] linux-user: fix off-by-one in host_to_target_for_each_rtattr()
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 17:51:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425155140.50186-4-deller@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260425155140.50186-1-deller@kernel.org>
From: Yixin Wei <easonwei1998@gmail.com>
host_to_target_for_each_rtattr() uses "len > sizeof(struct rtattr)"
as its loop condition. When the last rtattr in a netlink message has
exactly sizeof(struct rtattr) (4) bytes remaining, the loop exits
without byte-swapping its rta_len and rta_type. A big-endian guest
then reads rta_len in the wrong byte order and fails validation.
The companion function target_to_host_for_each_rtattr() correctly
uses ">=" (added in commit fa2229dbf8). The kernel's RTA_OK macro
also uses ">=". Fix the host_to_target direction to match.
