Hi,

I think you decoded it correctly. The netlink message is:

{0x14, 0x1c, 0x109, 0xffffffffffffffff, 0xffffffffffffffff, {0x4, 0x0, 0x0}, []}

0x14 length, 0x1c is type, etc

These numbers are input data for there descriptions:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/sys/linux/socket_netlink.txt
which generally match C structures as you expect.

However, there can be some surprising things, for example, executing
one ioctl/setsockopt with data meant for another one, or these
0xffffffffffffffff are actually mean 0 (for involved reasons), or we
can simply have bugs in these descriptions so they don't match C
structures and then all data is messed/shifted.

If this representation does not make sense to you right away, your
best bet is looking at/running the C reproducer where you can see true
data layout:

*(uint64_t*)0x20b3dfc8 = 0x20d49ff4;
*(uint32_t*)0x20b3dfd0 = 0xc;
*(uint64_t*)0x20b3dfd8 = 0x20007000;
*(uint64_t*)0x20b3dfe0 = 1;
*(uint64_t*)0x20b3dfe8 = 0;
*(uint64_t*)0x20b3dff0 = 0;
*(uint32_t*)0x20b3dff8 = 0;
*(uint16_t*)0x20d49ff4 = 0x10;
*(uint16_t*)0x20d49ff6 = 0;
*(uint32_t*)0x20d49ff8 = 0;
*(uint32_t*)0x20d49ffc = 0;
*(uint64_t*)0x20007000 = 0x201ca000;
*(uint64_t*)0x20007008 = 0x14;
*(uint32_t*)0x201ca000 = 0x14;
*(uint16_t*)0x201ca004 = 0x1c;
*(uint16_t*)0x201ca006 = 0x109;
*(uint32_t*)0x201ca008 = 0;
*(uint32_t*)0x201ca00c = 0;
*(uint8_t*)0x201ca010 = 4;
*(uint8_t*)0x201ca011 = 0;
*(uint16_t*)0x201ca012 = 0;
syscall(__NR_sendmsg, r[1], 0x20b3dfc8, 0);

Yes, it's highly likely the root cause. The raw.log file shows there
there was an immediately preceding fault in kmalloc in the same
process, in a close stack.
