Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: ipmr/ip6mr: fix potential out-of-bounds vif_table access

My appologies for using git-show again. Correctly formatted
patch attached.

mfc_parent of cache entries is used to index into the vif_table and is
initialised from mfcctl->mfcc_parent. This can take values of to 2^16-1,
while the vif_table has only MAXVIFS (32) entries. The same problem
affects ip6mr.

Refuse invalid values to fix a potential out-of-bounds access. Unlike
the other validity checks, this is checked in ipmr_mfc_add() instead of
the setsockopt handler since its unused in the delete path and might be
uninitialized.
