Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v4] ipnetns: use-after-free problem in
 get_netnsid_from_name func

From: Zhiqiang Liu <liuzhiqiang26@...wei.com>

Follow the following steps:
# ip netns add net1
# export MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=0
# ip netns list
then Segmentation fault (core dumped) will occur.

In get_netnsid_from_name func, answer is freed before rta_getattr_u32(tb[NETNSA_NSID]),
where tb[] refers to answer`s content. If we set MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=0, mmap will
be adoped to malloc memory, which will be freed immediately after calling free func.
So reading tb[NETNSA_NSID] will access the released memory after free(answer).

Here, we will call get_netnsid_from_name(tb[NETNSA_NSID]) before free(answer).

Fixes: 86bf43c7c2f ("lib/libnetlink: update rtnl_talk to support malloc buff at run time")
