This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv6: Check attribute length for RTA_GATEWAY in multipath route to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ipv6-check-attribute-length-for-rta_gateway-in-multipath-route.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 4619bcf91399f00a40885100fb61d594d8454033 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2021 17:36:33 -0700 Subject: ipv6: Check attribute length for RTA_GATEWAY in multipath route From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4619bcf91399f00a40885100fb61d594d8454033 upstream. Commit referenced in the Fixes tag used nla_memcpy for RTA_GATEWAY as does the current nla_get_in6_addr. nla_memcpy protects against accessing memory greater than what is in the attribute, but there is no check requiring the attribute to have an IPv6 address. Add it.
