TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

Si un nombre de enlace que no termina en nulo se pasa a través de netlink, strstr() y funciones similares pueden provocar una saturación del búfer. Esto causa el problema anterior. Este parche cambia la nla_policy para nombres relacionados con el portador de NLA_STRING a NLA_NUL_STRING. Esto resuelve el problema garantizando que sólo se acepten cadenas terminadas en nulo como nombres relacionados con el portador. syzbot informó un problema similar de valor uninitario relacionado con los nombres de los portadores [2]. La causa principal de este problema es que se pasó un nombre de portador no terminado en nulo. Este parche también resolvió este problema.
