Commit e57f61858b7c ("net: bridge: mcast: fix stale nsrcs pointer in
igmp3/mld2 report handling") introduced a small bug which would potentially
lead to accepting an MLD2 Report with a broken IPv6 header payload length
field.

The check needs to take into account the 2 bytes for the "Number of
Sources" field in the "Multicast Address Record" before reading it.
And not the size of a pointer to this field.

I'd rather be more concerned with it rejecting a valid report due to wrong size. The ptr
size would always be bigger. :)

Thanks!

Aiy, you're right, it's the other way round. I'll update the
commit message and send a v2 in a minute, with your Acked-by
included.


By the way, I can't verify at the moment, but I think we can drop that whole
hunk altogether since skb_header_pointer() is used and it will simply return
an error if there isn't enough data for nsrcs.
