| Description: | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
enic: Validate length of nl attributes in enic_set_vf_port
enic_set_vf_port assumes that the nl attribute IFLA_PORT_PROFILE is of
length PORT_PROFILE_MAX and that the nl attributes
IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID, IFLA_PORT_HOST_UUID are of length
PORT_UUID_MAX. These attributes are validated (in the function
do_setlink in rtnetlink.c) using the nla_policy ifla_port_policy. The
policy defines IFLA_PORT_PROFILE as NLA_STRING,
IFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID as NLA_BINARY and IFLA_PORT_HOST_UUID as
NLA_STRING. That means that the length validation using the policy is
for the max size of the attributes and not on exact size so the length
of these attributes might be less than the sizes that enic_set_vf_port
expects. This might cause an out of bands read access in the memcpys
of the data of these attributes in enic_set_vf_port.
