CVE-2023-53752

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: deal with integer overflows in kmalloc_reserve()

Blamed commit changed: ptr = kmalloc(size); if (ptr) size = ksize(ptr);

size = kmalloc_size_roundup(size);
ptr = kmalloc(size);

This allowed various crash as reported by syzbot [1] and Kyle Zeng.

Problem is that if @size is bigger than 0x80000001, kmalloc_size_roundup(size) returns 2^32.

kmalloc_reserve() uses a 32bit variable (obj_size), so 2^32 is truncated to 0.

kmalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR which is not handled by skb allocations.

Following trace can be triggered if a netdev->mtu is set close to 0x7fffffff

We might in the future limit netdev->mtu to more sensible limit (like KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE).

This patch is based on a syzbot report, and also a report and tentative fix from Kyle Zeng.
