Subject: [PATCH net] tipc: Guard against tiny MTU in tipc_msg_build()

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 03:16:54 +0100

Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build().  The minimum fragment length needs to be checked
against the maximum packet size, which is based on the link MTU.

This is untested, but I think it fixes the issue reported.  Ideally
tipc_l2_device_event() would also disable use of TIPC on devices with
too small an MTU, like several other protocols do.

Ben.
