[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH libubox] blobmsg: fix attrs iteration in the blobmsg_check_array_len()

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

Starting with 75e300aeec25 ("blobmsg: fix wrong payload len passed from
blobmsg_check_array") blobmsg_check_array_len() gets *blob* length
passed as argument. It cannot be used with __blobmsg_for_each_attr()
which expects *data* length.

Use blobmsg_for_each_attr() which calculates *data* length on its own.

The same bug was already reported in the past and there was fix attempt
in the commit cd75136b1342 ("blobmsg: fix wrong payload len passed from
blobmsg_check_array"). That change made blobmsg_check_attr_len() calls
fail however.

This is hopefully the correct & complete fix:
1. blobmsg_check_array_len() gets *blob* length
2. It calls blobmsg_check_attr_len() which requires *blob* length
3. It uses blobmsg_for_each_attr() which gets *data* length

This fixes iterating over random memory treated as attrs. That was
resulting in check failing randomly for totally correct blobs. It's
critical e.g. for procd project with its instance_fill_array() failing
and procd not starting services.

Fixes: 75e300aeec25 ("blobmsg: fix wrong payload len passed from blobmsg_check_array")
