An invalid packet with a length shorter than the specified length in the netlink header can lead to use-after-frees and slab-out-of-bounds in the processing of the netlink attributes, such as the following: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __nla_validate_parse+0x1258/0x2010 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88800ac7952c by task kworker/0:1/12 Workqueue: events hwsim_virtio_rx_work Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x45/0x5d print_report.cold+0x5e/0x5e5 kasan_report+0xb1/0x1c0 __nla_validate_parse+0x1258/0x2010 __nla_parse+0x22/0x30 hwsim_virtio_handle_cmd.isra.0+0x13f/0x2d0 hwsim_virtio_rx_work+0x1b2/0x370 process_one_work+0x8df/0x1530 worker_thread+0x575/0x11a0 kthread+0x29d/0x340 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 </TASK> Discarding packets with an invalid length solves this. Therefore, skb->len must be set at reception.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
