This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: avoid signed overflows for SO_{SND|RCV}BUFFORCE to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-avoid-signed-overflows-for-so_-snd-rcv-bufforce.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b98b0bc8c431e3ceb4b26b0dfc8db509518fb290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 09:44:53 -0800 Subject: net: avoid signed overflows for SO_{SND|RCV}BUFFORCE From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
