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 + +Signed-off-by: Andre McCurdy <armccurdy@gmail.com> +--- + lib/msg.c | 3 +++ + 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/lib/msg.c b/lib/msg.c +index e8a7e99..f30fd2d 100644 +--- a/lib/msg.c ++++ b/lib/msg.c +@@ -410,6 +410,9 @@ void *nlmsg_reserve(struct nl_msg *n, size_t len, int pad) + size_t nlmsg_len = n->nm_nlh->nlmsg_len; + size_t tlen; + ++ if (len > n->nm_size) ++ return NULL; ++ + tlen = pad ?
