Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/addr: potential uninitialized variable in ib_nl_process_good_ip_rsep()

The nla_len() is less than or equal to 16. If it's less than 16 then
end of the "gid" buffer is uninitialized.

Fixes: ae43f8286730 ("IB/core: Add IP to GID netlink offload")

I just spotted this in review. I think it's a bug but I'm not 100%.

I tend to agree with you, that it is a bug.

LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID is declared as NLA_BINARY which doesn't complain if
data is less than declared ".len". However, the fix needs to be in
ib_nl_is_good_ip_resp(), it shouldn't return "true" if length not equal
to 16.

Thanks

What about just updating the policy? The bellow diff should work I believe.

I didn't know about ".validation_type", but yes this change will be enough.

Could you send that and give me a reported-by? I'm going AFK for a
week.

Sure, we will handle it.

Thanks for the report.
