netfilter: nf_tables: validate variable length element extension
Update template to validate variable length extensions. This patch adds a new .ext_len[id] field to the template to store the expected extension length. This is used to sanity check the initialization of the variable length extension. Use PTR_ERR() in nft_set_elem_init() to report errors since, after this update, there are two reason why this might fail, either because of ENOMEM or insufficient room in the extension field (EINVAL). Kernels up until 7e6bc1f6 ("netfilter: nf_tables: stricter validation of element data") allowed to copy more data to the extension than was allocated. This ext_len field allows to validate if the destination has the correct size as additional check. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
