From ac6d141dc7d1d0eeec850d1b451dca83ce649684 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:45:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: nfnetlink: parse attributes with nfattr_parse in nfnetlink_check_attribute Use nfattr_parse to parse attributes, this patch also modifies the default behaviour since unknown attributes will be ignored instead of returning EINVAL. This ensure backward compatibility: new libraries with new attributes and old kernels can work. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
