Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/11] wireguard: netlink: enable strict genetlink validation
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 03:28:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201022849.418666-2-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251201022849.418666-1-Jason@zx2c4.com>
From: Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen <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.
