[AF_NETLINK]: Fix DoS in netlink_rcv_skb()
From: Martin Murray <murrayma@citi.umich.edu> Sanity check nlmsg_len during netlink_rcv_skb. An nlmsg_len == 0 can cause infinite loop in kernel, effectively DoSing machine. Noted by Matin Murray. Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
