This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: most: net: fix buffer overflow

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

If the length of the socket buffer is 0xFFFFFFFF (max size for an unsigned int), then payload_len becomes 0xFFFFFFF1 after subtracting 14 (ETH_HLEN). Then, mdp_len is set to payload_len + 16 (MDP_HDR_LEN) which overflows and results in a value of 2. These values for payload_len and mdp_len will pass current buffer size checks.

This patch checks if derived from skb->len sum may overflow.

The check is based on the following idea:

For any `unsigned V1, V2` and derived `unsigned SUM = V1 + V2`, `V1 + V2` overflows iif `SUM < V1`.
