Finally, I think I have the correct fix below. Please someone confirm
or tell me I'm nuts.

Thanks in advance,

Subject: [IPv4] fib: Fix out of bound access of fib_props[]

Backported from 2.6. Bug found and fixed by Thomas Graf :

Fixes a typo which caused fib_props[] to have the wrong size
and makes sure the value used to index the array which is
provided by userspace via netlink is checked to avoid out of
bound access.
