Those fields are read before\nthe buffer is verified to be large enough to contain the struct they belong\nto, so a short response makes the read land past the end of the allocation.\n\nhandle_response() sizes entry->response purely from the netlink attribute\nlength (nla_len()) and only guards the leading handle read, so the daemon\ncan install a response as small as the kmalloc-8 object seen below.
