From e1701c68c1d1aeb3213d7016593ea9a1d4309417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 12:46:02 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy. The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all" or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute, but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a validation error. Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the length of an address. Report an error if address length is non zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on availability of attribute.
