From 08ebc8f4c0acb1e9a104e66fdc2bb5b4e29171f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:18:58 +0000 Subject: rtnetlink: Mask the rta_type when range checking [ Upstream commit a5b8db91442fce9c9713fcd656c3698f1adde1d6 ] Range/validity checks on rta_type in rtnetlink_rcv_msg() do not account for flags that may be set. This causes the function to return -EINVAL when flags are set on the type (for example NLA_F_NESTED). Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Acked-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
