Code:  static int hns_gmac_get_sset_count(int stringset)

Vulnerability Type: DoS Overflow Mem. Corr. 
CWE ID: CWE-119
Summary: In the Linux kernel before 4.12, Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS) does not consider the ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS case when retrieving sset_count data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by incompatibility between hns_get_sset_count and ethtool_get_strings.
Commit Message: net: hns: fix ethtool_get_strings overflow in hns driver

hns_get_sset_count() returns HNS_NET_STATS_CNT and the data space allocated
is not enough for ethtool_get_strings(), which will cause random memory
corruption.

When SLAB and DEBUG_SLAB are both enabled, memory corruptions like the
the following can be observed without this patch:
