Description
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.
