Subject: [PATCH net 3/6] netfilter: nf_tables: fix pointer math issue in nft_byteorder_eval()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>

The problem is in nft_byteorder_eval() where we are iterating through a
loop and writing to dst[0], dst[1], dst[2] and so on...  On each
iteration we are writing 8 bytes.  But dst[] is an array of u32 so each
element only has space for 4 bytes.  That means that every iteration
overwrites part of the previous element.

I spotted this bug while reviewing commit caf3ef7468f7 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: prevent OOB access in nft_byteorder_eval") which is a related
issue.  I think that the reason we have not detected this bug in testing
is that most of time we only write one element.

Fixes: ce1e7989d989 ("netfilter: nft_byteorder: provide 64bit le/be conversion")
