In seg6_genl_policy, SEG6_ATTR_DST is defined with .type = NLA_BINARY and
.len = sizeof(struct in6_addr). For NLA_BINARY, .len only enforces the
maximum payload length and permits shorter payloads (e.g., 0 bytes).
When seg6_genl_set_tunsrc() copies sizeof(struct in6_addr) bytes via
kmemdup(val, sizeof(*val), GFP_KERNEL), a short SEG6_ATTR_DST attribute
triggers a 16-byte out-of-bounds read past skb->tail into uninitialized
skb->head memory, which is stored in sdata->tun_src and leaked back to
userspace via SEG6_CMD_GET_TUNSRC.
Switch SEG6_ATTR_DST in seg6_genl_policy to
NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(sizeof(struct in6_addr)) so that generic netlink
validation rejects any attribute whose length is not exactly
sizeof(struct in6_addr) with -ERANGE.
Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 by sending a SEG6_CMD_SET_TUNSRC
Generic Netlink message with a 0-byte SEG6_ATTR_DST attribute followed
by SEG6_CMD_GET_TUNSRC. On the unfixed kernel, SEG6_CMD_SET_TUNSRC
succeeds (err = 0) and SEG6_CMD_GET_TUNSRC leaks 16 bytes of
uninitialized kernel heap memory (tun_src =
836a61ecc4d25a1042a8d60411cfb378); with this patch applied,
SEG6_CMD_SET_TUNSRC is rejected by netlink policy validation with
-ERANGE (-34) and tun_src remains zeroed.
