Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 03/11] wireguard: netlink: enable strict genetlink validation
Date: Wed,  5 Nov 2025 18:32:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105183223.89913-4-ast@fiberby.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251105183223.89913-1-ast@fiberby.net>

Wireguard is a modern enough genetlink family, that it doesn't
need resv_start_op. It already had policies in place when it was
first merged, it has also never used the reserved field, or other
things toggled by resv_start_op.

wireguard-tools have always used zero initialized memory, and
have never touched the reserved field, neither have any other
clients I have checked. Closed-source clients are much more
likely to use the embeddedable library from wireguard-tools,
than a DIY implementation using uninitialized memory.
