Vegard Nossum 619e803d3c netlink: fix (theoretical) overrun in message iteration ... See commit 1045b03e07 ("netlink: fix overrun in attribute iteration") for a detailed explanation of why this patch is necessary. In short, nlmsg_next() can make "remaining" go negative, and the remaining >= sizeof(...) comparison will promote "remaining" to an unsigned type, which means that the expression will evaluate to true for negative numbers, even though it was not intended. I put "theoretical" in the title because I have no evidence that this can actually happen, but I suspect that a crafted netlink packet can trigger some badness. Note that the last test, which seemingly has the exact same problem (also true for nla_ok()), is perfectly OK, since we already know that remaining is positive.
