Hi,

I am working on Kernel AddressSanitizer, a fast memory error detector
for kernel:
https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerForKernel

Here is an error report that I got while running trinity:

My source is on revision f114040e3ea6e07372334ade75d1ee0

As far as I see netlink_bind just calls nfnetlink_bind with whatever
groups user has requested; nfnetlink_bind in turn do not do any checks
before indexing the global nfnl_group2type array with the group.
