If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 710d21fdff9a98d621cd4e64167f3ef8af4e2fd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 21:37:49 -0700 Subject: netlink: Bounds-check struct nlmsgerr creation From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 710d21fdff9a98d621cd4e64167f3ef8af4e2fd1 upstream. In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE doing bounds-check on memcpy(), switch from __nlmsg_put to nlmsg_put(), and explain the bounds check for dealing with the memcpy() across a composite flexible array struct. Avoids this future run-time warning: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field "&errmsg->msg" at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2447 (size 16) Cc: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "David S.
