Subject: [libnftnl PATCH 2/2 v2] Avoid out of bounds read from data
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2021 13:06:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ec62c2c-869d-9acf-138d-99baeaca07b0@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210217230100.GB32290@salvia>

When data is smaller than the destination, &ctr->pkts.

This might introduce some issues since we're now not
filling the rest of the memory, but filling out with
uninitialized garbage is probably as bad as leaving it
as garbage.
