Names must be null-terminated strings. If a name which is not 
null-terminated is passed through netlink, strstr() and similar 
functions can cause buffer overrun. This patch fixes this issue 
by returning -EINVAL if a non-null-terminated name is passed.

The better choice would be to use strncmp() with limit of
TIPC_MAX_LINK_NAME in tipc_node_find_by_name().
This patch fixes tipc_nl_node_get_link(), but the same pattern is used
in tipc_nl_node_set_link() and tipc_nl_node_reset_link_stats(), these
functions also need improvements. Changes to strncmp() and strnstr()
will fix all spots.

If the existing userspace is passing 0-terminated strings it would be
better to fix the policy (tipc_nl_link_policy) instead (and set NLA_NUL_STRING).

And if not, above change breaks userspace.

You have now sent 14 incorrect fixes to Linux networking. 
And not a single correct one.
I would like to politely ask you to stop.
