[ Upstream commit 8c0427842a ]
An invalid packet with a length shorter than the specified length in the
netlink header can lead to use-after-frees and slab-out-of-bounds in the
processing of the netlink attributes, such as the following:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __nla_validate_parse+0x1258/0x2010
Read of size 2 at addr ffff88800ac7952c by task kworker/0:1/12

Discarding packets with an invalid length solves this.
Therefore, skb->len must be set at reception.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
