In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: qualcomm: rmnet: fix global oob in rmnet_policy

The variable rmnet_link_ops assign a bigger maxtype which leads to a
global out-of-bounds read when parsing the netlink attributes. See bug
trace below:

According to the comment of nla_parse_nested_deprecated, the maxtype
should be len(destination array) – 1. Hence use IFLA_RMNET_MAX here.
