    ipv6: Fix return value of ipv6_mc_may_pull() for malformed packets · 3a7ef457
    Stefano Brivio authored
    Commit ba5ea614 ("bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and
    ipv6_mc_check_mld() calls") replaces direct calls to pskb_may_pull()
    in br_ipv6_multicast_mld2_report() with calls to ipv6_mc_may_pull(),
    that returns -EINVAL on buffers too short to be valid IPv6 packets,
    while maintaining the previous handling of the return code.
    
    This leads to the direct opposite of the intended effect: if the
    packet is malformed, -EINVAL evaluates as true, and we'll happily
    proceed with the processing.
    
    Return 0 if the packet is too short, in the same way as this was
    fixed for IPv4 by commit 083b78a9 ("ip: fix ip_mc_may_pull()
    return value").
    
    I don't have a reproducer for this, unlike the one referred to by
    the IPv4 commit, but this is clearly broken.
