From c516724814d826ae1a90849e24e386c2ad81a845 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 09:44:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: avoid signed overflows for SO_{SND|RCV}BUFFORCE commit b98b0bc8c431e3ceb4b26b0dfc8db509518fb290 upstream. CAP_NET_ADMIN users should not be allowed to set negative sk_sndbuf or sk_rcvbuf values, as it can lead to various memory corruptions, crashes, OOM... Note that before commit 82981930125a ("net: cleanups in sock_setsockopt()"), the bug was even more serious, since SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF were vulnerable. This needs to be backported to all known linux kernels. Again, many thanks to syzkaller team for discovering this gem.
