-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Thomas Graf <[email protected]>
The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its
availability when dumping actions therefore leading to a
value of 0x4 being dereferenced.
The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe
when fed with string from an attribute without enforcing
proper NUL termination.
Both bugs can be triggered with malformed netlink message
and don't require any privileges.
