Subject: [PATCH net] netlink: extack needs to be reset each time through loop
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 13:00:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180110210039.4763-1-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)
syzbot triggered the WARN_ON in netlink_ack testing the bad_attr value.
The problem is that netlink_rcv_skb loops over the skb repeatedly invoking
the callback and without resetting the extack leaving potentially stale
data. Initializing each time through avoids the WARN_ON.
Fixes: 2d4bc93368f5a ("netlink: extended ACK reporting")
