Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-01 15:05:24 UTC
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:
