[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. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
