In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix the msg->req tlv len check in tipc_nl_compat_name_table_dump_header
This is a follow-up for commit 974cb0e3e7c9 ("tipc: fix uninit-value in tipc_nl_compat_name_table_dump") where it should have type casted sizeof(..) to int to work when TLV_GET_DATA_LEN() returns a negative value.
syzbot reported a call trace because of it:
