4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 69ec932e364b1ba9c3a2085fe96b76c8a3f71e7c ] Before the 'type' is validated, we shouldn't use it to fetch the ovs_ct_attr_lens's minlen and maxlen, else, out of bound access may happen.
