[PATCH 3.5 52/64] connector: use nlmsg_len() to check message length

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Oct 28 2013 - 10:53:48 EST


3.5.7.24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 162b2bedc084d2d908a04c93383ba02348b648b0 upstream.

The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be
at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes
the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to
fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check.
