netfilter: ebtables: reject blobs that don't provide all entry points
[ Upstream commit 7997eff82828304b780dc0a39707e1946d6f1ebf ]
Harshit Mogalapalli says:
In ebt_do_table() function dereferencing 'private->hook_entry[hook]'
can lead to NULL pointer dereference. [..] Kernel panic:

For some reason ebtables rejects blobs that provide entry points that are
not supported by the table, but what it should instead reject is the
opposite: blobs that DO NOT provide an entry point supported by the table.
t->valid_hooks is the bitmask of hooks (input, forward ...) that will see
packets. Providing an entry point that is not support is harmless
(never called/used), but the inverse isn't: it results in a crash
because the ebtables traverser doesn't expect a NULL blob for a location
its receiving packets for.
Instead of fixing all the individual checks, do what iptables is doing and
reject all blobs that differ from the expected hooks.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
