[ Upstream commit 155fb43b70b5fce341347a77d1af2765d1e8fbb8 ] Property list (altname is a link "property") is wrapped in a nlattr. nlattrs length is 16bit so practically speaking the list of properties can't be longer than that, otherwise user space would have to interpret broken netlink messages. Prevent the problem from occurring by checking the length of the property list before adding new entries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
