Fixed nearly four years ago.

    ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl arguments
    
    The ipvs code has a nifty system for doing the size of ioctl command
    copies; it defines an array with values into which it indexes the
    cmd
    to find the right length.
    
    Unfortunately, the ipvs code forgot to check if the cmd was in the
    range that the array provides, allowing for an index outside of the
    array, which then gives a "garbage" result into the length, which
    then gets used for copying into a stack buffer.
    
    Fix this by adding sanity checks on these as well as the copy size.
