    rtnetlink: fix error logic of IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS writing back · 743ad091
    Lin Ma authored
    In the commit d73ef2d6 ("rtnetlink: let rtnl_bridge_setlink checks
    IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE length"), an adjustment was made to the old loop logic
    in the function `rtnl_bridge_setlink` to enable the loop to also check
    the length of the IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute. However, this adjustment
    removed the `break` statement and led to an error logic of the flags
    writing back at the end of this function.
    
    if (have_flags)
        memcpy(nla_data(attr), &flags, sizeof(flags));
        // attr should point to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS NLA !!!
    
    Before the mentioned commit, the `attr` is granted to be IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS.
    However, this is not necessarily true fow now as the updated loop will let
    the attr point to the last NLA, even an invalid NLA which could cause
    overflow writes.
    
    This patch introduces a new variable `br_flag` to save the NLA pointer
    that points to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS and uses it to resolve the mentioned
    error logic.
