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

net/sched: act_mpls: Fix warning during failed attribute validation

The 'TCAMPLSLABEL' attribute is of 'NLAU32' type, but has a validation type of 'NLAVALIDATEFUNCTION'. This is an invalid combination according to the comment above 'struct nlapolicy':

" Meaning of `validate' field, use via NLAPOLICYVALIDATEFN: NLABINARY Validation function called for the attribute. All other Unused - but note that it's a union "

This can trigger the warning [1] in nlagetrangeunsigned() when validation of the attribute fails. Despite being of 'NLAU32' type, the associated 'min'/'max' fields in the policy are negative as they are aliased by the 'validate' field.

Fix by changing the attribute type to 'NLABINARY' which is consistent with the above comment and all other users of NLAPOLICYVALIDATEFN(). As a result, move the length validation to the validation function.

No regressions in MPLS tests:

# ./tdc.py -f tc-tests/actions/mpls.json [...] # echo $? 0
