3.5.7.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vlad Yasevich <vyase...@redhat.com>
commit a5b8db91442fce9c9713fcd656c3698f1adde1d6 upstream.
Range/validity checks on rta_type in rtnetlink_rcv_msg() do
not account for flags that may be set. This causes the function
to return -EINVAL when flags are set on the type (for example
NLA_F_NESTED).
