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

netfilter: ip6t_rt: reject oversized addrnr in rt_mt6_check()

Reject rt match rules whose addrnr exceeds IP6T_RT_HOPS.

rt_mt6() expects addrnr to stay within the bounds of rtinfo->addrs[].
Validate addrnr during rule installation so malformed rules are rejected
before the match logic can use an out-of-range value.
