If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause [ Upstream commit 162b2bedc084d2d908a04c93383ba02348b648b0 ] The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check.
