Subject: [PATCH] snic: correctly check for array overrun on overly long version number

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The snic version number is expected to be 4 decimals in the form like
a netmask string with each number stored in an element in array v.
However, there is an off-by-one check on the number of elements in v
allowing one to pass a 5 decimal version number causing v[4] to be
referenced, causing a buffer overrun.  Fix the off-by-one error by
comparing to i > 3 rather than 4.
