Summary

Fix critical severity security issue in net/netlink-genl-families.c.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-001
Severity CRITICAL
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-001
File net/netlink-genl-families.c:316
CWE CWE-120

Description: At net/netlink-genl-families.c:325, memcpy(name, payload, copy) copies attacker-controlled data from a netlink message payload into a destination buffer 'name'. The 'copy' length is derived from the netlink message without strict validation against the actual destination buffer size. If 'copy' exceeds the allocated size of 'name', this results in a heap or stack buffer overflow, overwriting adjacent memory and potentially enabling code execution.
