Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
macvlan: fix macvlan_get_size() not reserving space for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF<br />
<br />
macvlan_get_size() does not account for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF, but<br />
macvlan_fill_info() conditionally includes it when port->bc_cutoff != 1.<br />
This causes nla_put_s32() to fail with -EMSGSIZE when the netlink skb<br />
runs out of space, triggering a WARN_ON in rtnetlink and preventing the<br />
interface from being dumped.<br />
<br />
The bug can be reproduced with:<br />
<br />
ip link add macvlan0 link eth0 type macvlan mode bridge<br />
ip link set macvlan0 type macvlan bc_cutoff 0<br />
ip -d link show macvlan0 # fails with -EMSGSIZE<br />
<br />
The bc_cutoff feature was added in commit 954d1fa1ac93 ("macvlan: Add<br />
netlink attribute for broadcast cutoff"), which added the nla_put_s32()<br />
call in macvlan_fill_info() but missed adding the corresponding<br />
nla_total_size(4) in macvlan_get_size(). A follow-up commit<br />
55cef78c244d ("macvlan: add forgotten nla_policy for<br />
IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF") fixed the missing nla_policy entry but still<br />
did not fix the size calculation.
