Subject: [patch 1/6] staging: gdm72xx: underflow in netlink_rcv_cb()
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:30:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160222193046.GA23565@mwanda> (raw)

If nlh->nlmsg_len is less than ND_IFINDEX_LEN we end up trying to memcpy
a negative size.  I also re-ordered slighty the condition to make it
more uniform.
