Thanks for sending the fix Kees. I got a bit busy towards the end of the year.

I spent some time looking at how the netlink api was used, and tried
to convince myself that a user couldn't send an OEM command that
triggered the overflow. It all got a bit tangled up so I didn't come
to a conclusion.
