nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly
including the nul-termination in the comparison.

 int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str)
 {
        int len = strlen(str) + 1;
        ...
		d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len);

However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without
the null-termination. This is a problem since the nf_tables lookup
functions won't find any matching as the last byte may mismatch.
So we have to enforce that strings are nul-termination to avoid
mismatches.

The userspace library libnftnl always appends the nul-termination
to all strings that are sent to the kernel, that's why this bug didn't
manifest in userspace.

Looks to me as if the real fix is:

int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str)
{
	return nla_memcmp(nla, str, strlen(str));
}

[ better yet, add static inline wrapper for it ].

I think you're right, a quick look at the users of this:

net/core/fib_rules.c:               nla_strcmp(tb[FRA_IIFNAME], rule->iifname))
net/core/fib_rules.c:               nla_strcmp(tb[FRA_OIFNAME], rule->oifname))
net/core/neighbour.c:           if (nla_strcmp(tb[NDTA_NAME], tbl->id) == 0)
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:            if (tb[IFA_LABEL] && nla_strcmp(tb[IFA_LABEL], ifa->ifa_label))
net/ipv4/devinet.c:             if (tb[IFA_LABEL] && nla_strcmp(tb[IFA_LABEL], ifa->ifa_label))
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:          if (!nla_strcmp(nla, table->name))
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:              !nla_strcmp(nla, chain_type[family][i]->name))
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:          if (!nla_strcmp(nla, chain->name))
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:          if (!nla_strcmp(nla, type->name) &&
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:          if (!nla_strcmp(nla, set->name))
net/sched/act_api.c:                    if (nla_strcmp(kind, a->kind) == 0) {
net/sched/cls_api.c:                    if (nla_strcmp(kind, t->kind) == 0) {
net/sched/cls_api.c:    } else if (tca[TCA_KIND] && nla_strcmp(tca[TCA_KIND], tp->ops->kind))
net/sched/sch_api.c:                    if (nla_strcmp(kind, q->id) == 0) {
net/sched/sch_api.c:    if (tca[TCA_KIND] && nla_strcmp(tca[TCA_KIND], q->ops->id))
net/sched/sch_api.c:                            if (tca[TCA_KIND] && nla_strcmp(tca[TCA_KIND], q->ops->id))
net/sched/sch_api.c: nla_strcmp(tca[TCA_KIND], q->ops->id))))
net/sched/sch_api.c:    if (tca[TCA_KIND] && nla_strcmp(tca[TCA_KIND], q->ops->id

In the current iproute2 tree: /ip/ipntable.c:

        len = strlen(namep) + 1;
        addattr_l(&req.n, sizeof(req), NDTA_NAME, namep, len)

from ip/ipaddress.c:

addattr_l(&req.n, sizeof(req), IFA_LABEL, l, strlen(l)+1)

They are indeed including the nul-termination, that's why the
comparison is working.

I don't find any validation for TCA_KIND though, but that nla_strcmp
is implicitly enforcing the nul-termination, otherwise will return a
mismatch.

You're right, aliasing it to nla_memcmp would break iproute2.

So looks like we'd have to add backwards compat to nla_strcmp and check if the last
byte of nla data is a zero byte to catch this.

Lets see if Thomas has a better idea.

Seems safe to just fix nla_strcmp() to disregard the terminating
NUL in the attribute data if it is present, just like validate_nla()
does for NLA_STRING.
