General IGMP and MLD queries are supposed to have the multicast
link-local all-nodes address as their destination according to RFC2236
section 9, RFC3376 section 4.1.12/9.1, RFC2710 section 8 and RFC3810
section 5.1.15.

Without this check, such malformed IGMP/MLD queries can result in a
denial of service: The queries are ignored by most IGMP/MLD listeners
therefore they will not respond with an IGMP/MLD report. However,
without this patch these malformed MLD queries would enable the
snooping part in the bridge code, potentially shutting down the
according ports towards these hosts for multicast traffic as the
bridge did not learn about these listeners.

[...]

That reminds me, shouldn't we also check this in igmp_rcv()?

Ben.
