Subject: [PATCH net] net: bridge: prevent too big nested attributes in br_fill_linkxstats()
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 13:05:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518130531.1015332-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
After commit ff205bf8c554 ("netlink: add one debug check in nla_nest_end()")
syzbot found that br_fill_linkxstats() can send corrupted netlink packets.
Make sure the nested attribute size is bounded.
Fixes: a60c090361ea ("bridge: netlink: export per-vlan stats")
Reported-by: syzbot+a35f9259d08f907c06e6@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/6a0b0da3.050a0220.175f0c.0000.GAE@google.com/
