[PATCH] ipv4: netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow

[Vasiliy Kulikov]

buffer string is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated.  This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().

It was introduced before the git epoch.  Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
