Subject: [PATCH v2] netfilter: fix type mismatch with error return from nft_parse_u32_check
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 15:56:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1477425399-28480-1-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1477422484-27030-1-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com>
Commit 36b701fae12ac ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate maximum value of
u32 netlink attributes") introduced nft_parse_u32_check with a return
value of "unsigned int", yet on error it returns "-ERANGE".
This patch corrects the mismatch by changing the return value to "int",
which happens to match the actual users of nft_parse_u32_check already.
Found by Coverity, CID 1373930.
Note that commit 21a9e0f1568ea ("netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix error
handling in nft_exthdr_init()) attempted to address the issue, but
did not address the return type of nft_parse_u32_check.
