4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mathias Krause <mini...@googlemail.com>
[ Upstream commit 4775cc1f2d5abca894ac32774eefc22c45347d1c ]
We miss to check if the netlink message is actually big enough to contain
a struct if_stats_msg.
Add a check to prevent userland from sending us short messages that would
make us access memory beyond the end of the message.
Fixes: 10c9ead9f3c6 ("rtnetlink: add new RTM_GETSTATS message to dump...")
