Subject: sctp: add a ceiling to optlen in some sockopts
From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5960cefab9df76600a1a7d4ff592c59e14616e88 ]
Hangbin Liu reported that some sockopt calls could cause the kernel to log
a warning on memory allocation failure if the user supplied a large optlen
value. That is because some of them called memdup_user() without a ceiling
on optlen, allowing it to try to allocate really large buffers.
This patch adds a ceiling by limiting optlen to the maximum allowed that
would still make sense for these sockopt.
