+Subject: [PATCH] lib: check for integer-overflow in nlmsg_reserve()
+
+In general, libnl functions are not robust against calling with
+invalid arguments. Thus, never call libnl functions with invalid
+arguments. In case of nlmsg_reserve() this means never provide
+a @len argument that causes overflow.
+
+Still, add an additional safeguard to avoid exploiting such bugs.
+
+Assume that @pad is a trusted, small integer.
+Assume that n->nm_size is a valid number of allocated bytes (and thus
+much smaller then SIZE_T_MAX).
+Assume, that @len may be set to an untrusted value. Then the patch
+avoids an integer overflow resulting in reserving too few bytes.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/3e18948f17148e6a3c4255bdeaaf01ef6081ceeb]
+CVE: CVE-2017-0553
