Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netlink: annotate lockless accesses to nlk->max_recvmsg_len syzbot reported a data-race in data-race in netlink_recvmsg() [1] Indeed, netlink_recvmsg() can be run concurrently, and netlink_dump() also needs protection.
