Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vxlan: Fix uninit-value in vxlan_vnifilter_dump()<br />
<br />
KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in vxlan_vnifilter_dump() [1].<br />
<br />
If the length of the netlink message payload is less than<br />
sizeof(struct tunnel_msg), vxlan_vnifilter_dump() accesses bytes<br />
beyond the message. This can lead to uninit-value access. Fix this by<br />
returning an error in such situations.<br />
<br />
