Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 08/10] IB/core: Fix IPv6 netlink message size in ib_nl_ip_send_msg()
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 21:00:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325-security-bug-fixes-v1-8-c8332981ad26@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325-security-bug-fixes-v1-0-c8332981ad26@nvidia.com>
From: Maher Sanalla <msanalla@nvidia.com>
When resolving an RDMA-CM IPv6 address, ib_nl_ip_send_msg() sends a
netlink request to the userspace daemon to perform IP-to-GID
resolution in certain cases. The function allocates the netlink message
buffer using nla_total_size(sizeof(size)), which passes 8 bytes (the
size of size_t) instead of 16 bytes (the size of an IPv6 address).
This results in an 8-byte under-allocation.
This is currently masked by nlmsg_new() over-allocation of the skb
in its internal logic. However, the code remains incorrect.
Fix the issue by supplying the proper IPv6 address length to
nla_total_size().
Fixes: ae43f8286730 ("IB/core: Add IP to GID netlink offload")
