Commit a1e64addf3ff (\"net: openvswitch: remove\nmisbehaving actions length check\") allowed the total sw_flow_actions\nstream to grow beyond 64 KiB, which is valid, but also removed the last\nguard preventing a generated nested action attribute from exceeding\nU16_MAX.\n\nAn oversized generated container can thus be closed with a truncated\nnla_len. A later dump or teardown then walks a structurally different\nstream than the one that was validated. In particular, an oversized\nnested CLONE/CT action may cause subsequent bytes in the generated\nstream to be interpreted as independent actions.\n\nKeep the larger total-action-stream behavior, but make nested action\nclose reject generated containers that do not fit in nla_len, and return\nthe error through all callers. For recursive SAMPLE, CLONE, DEC_TTL, and\nCHECK_PKT_LEN builders, trim resource-owning action-list tails in reverse\nconstruction order before discarding failed wrappers, so resources copied\ninto the rejected tails are released before the wrappers are removed.\n\nMost failed outer wrappers are discarded by truncating actions_len after\nchild resources have been released. CHECK_PKT_LEN also trims its parent\nafter branch resources are gone. SET/TUNNEL close failures unwind their\nknown tun_dst ownership directly, and SET_TO_MASKED has no external\nownership and truncates on close failure.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-07-27T06:32:32.596+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T20:48:38.436+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
