This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vlan: skip nested type that is not IFLA_VLAN_QOS_MAPPING to the 6.6-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: vlan-skip-nested-type-that-is-not-ifla_vlan_qos_mapp.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e7753228b98d84fa2b26786a7330c8ebca54b5e5 Author: Lin Ma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 18 21:03:06 2024 +0800 vlan: skip nested type that is not IFLA_VLAN_QOS_MAPPING [ Upstream commit 6c21660fe221a15c789dee2bc2fd95516bc5aeaf ] In the vlan_changelink function, a loop is used to parse the nested attributes IFLA_VLAN_EGRESS_QOS and IFLA_VLAN_INGRESS_QOS in order to obtain the struct ifla_vlan_qos_mapping. These two nested attributes are checked in the vlan_validate_qos_map function, which calls nla_validate_nested_deprecated with the vlan_map_policy. However, this deprecated validator applies a LIBERAL strictness, allowing the presence of an attribute with the type IFLA_VLAN_QOS_UNSPEC. Consequently, the loop in vlan_changelink may parse an attribute of type IFLA_VLAN_QOS_UNSPEC and believe it carries a payload of struct ifla_vlan_qos_mapping, which is not necessarily true. To address this issue and ensure compatibility, this patch introduces two type checks that skip attributes whose type is not IFLA_VLAN_QOS_MAPPING.
