There are totally 9 ndo_bridge_setlink handlers in the current kernel,
which are 1) bnxt_bridge_setlink, 2) be_ndo_bridge_setlink 3)
i40e_ndo_bridge_setlink 4) ice_bridge_setlink 5)
ixgbe_ndo_bridge_setlink 6) mlx5e_bridge_setlink 7)
nfp_net_bridge_setlink 8) qeth_l2_bridge_setlink 9) br_setlink.
By investigating the code, we find that 1-7 parse and use nlattr
IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE but 3 and 4 forget to do the nla_len check. This can
lead to an out-of-attribute read and allow a malformed nlattr (e.g.,
length 0) to be viewed as a 2 byte integer.
To avoid such issues, also for other ndo_bridge_setlink handlers in the
future. This patch adds the nla_len check in rtnl_bridge_setlink and
does an early error return if length mismatches. To make it works, the
break is removed from the parsing for IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS to make sure
this nla_for_each_nested iterates every attribute.
Fixes: b1edc14a3fbf ("ice: Implement ice_bridge_getlink and ice_bridge_setlink")
Fixes: 51616018dd1b ("i40e: Add support for getlink, setlink ndo ops")

Because of the repost this patch didn't make it in time to today's
PR and you'll have to wait another week before posting the cleanup
of the drivers :(
