From: Pablo Neira <pablo@netfilter.org>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 8b7b932434f5eee495b91a2804f5b64ebb2bc835 ]
nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison.
int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len);
However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination.
Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.
