## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rtnetlink: Correct nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute validation

Each attribute inside a nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST is assumed to be a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info so the size of such attribute needs to be at least
of sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) which is 14 bytes.
The current size validation in do_setvfinfo is against NLA_HDRLEN (4 bytes)
which is less than sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) so this validation
is not enough and a too small attribute might be cast to a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info, this might result in an out of bands
read access when accessing the saved (casted) entry in ivvl.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 4.9, < 4.19.314`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.276`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.217`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.159`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.91`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.31`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.8.10`
- `linux_kernel = 6.9`
- `debian_linux = 10.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.8.10`
