Subject[PATCH 14/17] [AF_NETLINK]: Fix DoS in netlink_rcv_skb() (CVE-2006-0035)
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

Sanity check nlmsg_len during netlink_rcv_skb. An nlmsg_len == 0 can
cause infinite loop in kernel, effectively DoSing machine. Noted by
Matin Murray.
