Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet: fix rtm_phonet_notify() skb allocation
fill_route() stores three components in the skb:
- struct rtmsg
- RTA_DST (u8)
- RTA_OIF (u32)
Therefore, rtm_phonet_notify() should use
NLMSG_ALIGN(sizeof(struct rtmsg)) +
nla_total_size(1) +
nla_total_size(4)
