Subject: [PATCH 4.4 12/17] netfilter: nfnetlink: correctly validate length of batch messages

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

------------------

From: Phil Turnbull <phil.turnbull@...cle.com>

commit c58d6c93680f28ac58984af61d0a7ebf4319c241 upstream.

If nlh->nlmsg_len is zero then an infinite loop is triggered because
'skb_pull(skb, msglen);' pulls zero bytes.

The calculation in nlmsg_len() underflows if 'nlh->nlmsg_len <
NLMSG_HDRLEN' which bypasses the length validation and will later
trigger an out-of-bound read.

If the length validation does fail then the malformed batch message is
copied back to userspace. However, we cannot do this because the
nlh->nlmsg_len can be invalid. This leads to an out-of-bounds read in
netlink_ack:

Fix this with better validation of nlh->nlmsg_len and by setting
NFNL_BATCH_FAILURE if any batch message fails length validation.

CAP_NET_ADMIN is required to trigger the bugs.
