UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26805

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netlink: Fix kernel-infoleak-after-free in __skb_datagram_iter syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1]: netlink_to_full_skb() creates a new skb and puts the skb->data passed as a 1st arg of netlink_to_full_skb() onto new skb. The data size is specified as len and passed to skb_put_data(). This len is based on skb->end that is not data offset but buffer offset. The skb->end contains data and tailroom. Since the tailroom is not initialized when the new skb created, KMSAN detects uninitialized memory area when copying the data. This patch resolved this issue by correct the len from skb->end to skb->len, which is the actual data offset.
