From 7880287981b60a6808f39f297bb66936e8bdf57a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 13:49:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: make sure nladdr has correct size in netlink_connect() KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl), and therefore |nladdr| isn't fully copied from the userspace.
