Subject: [PKT_SCHED]: Fix illegal memory dereferences when dumping actions
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1^2~2

[PKT_SCHED]: Fix illegal memory dereferences when dumping actions

The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its
availability when dumping actions therefore leading to a
value of 0x4 being dereferenced.

The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe
when fed with string from an attribute without enforcing
proper NUL termination.

Both bugs can be triggered with malformed netlink message
and don't require any privileges.
