Subject: [PATCH 3.12 012/111] cn: verify msg->len before making callback

From: David Fries <David@...es.net>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit a30cfa475d1a26c18f1998ba1e034a4e2ab4c7a8 upstream.

The struct cn_msg len field comes from userspace and needs to be
validated.  More logical to do so here where the cn_msg pointer is
pulled out of the sk_buff than the callback which is passed cn_msg *
and might assume no validation is needed.
