Subject: net: sysctl_net_core: check SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length
From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b1cb59cf2efe7971d3d72a7b963d09a512d994c9 ]
sysctl has sysctl.net.core.rmem_*/wmem_* parameters which can be
set to incorrect values. Given that 'struct sk_buff' allocates from
rcvbuf, incorrectly set buffer length could result to memory
allocation failures. For example, set them as follows:
# sysctl net.core.rmem_default=64
net.core.wmem_default = 64
# sysctl net.core.wmem_default=64
net.core.wmem_default = 64
# ping localhost -s 1024 -i 0 > /dev/null
This could result to the following failure:
skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff81628db4 len:-32 put:-32
head:ffff88003a1cc200 data:ffff88003a1cc200 tail:0xffffffe0 end:0xc0 dev:<NULL>
