Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() syzbot found that when an AF_PACKET socket is using PACKET_COPY_THRESH and mmap operations, tpacket_rcv() is queueing skbs with garbage in skb->cb[], triggering a too big copy [1] Presumably, users of af_packet using mmap() already gets correct metadata from the mapped buffer, we can simply make sure to clear 12 bytes that might be copied to user space later. BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in memcpy include/linux/fortify-string.h:225 [inline] BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in packet_recvmsg+0x56c/0x1150 net/packet/af_packet.c:3489 Write of size 165 at addr ffffc9000385fb78 by task syz-executor233/3631 CPU: 0 PID: 3631 Comm: syz-executor233 Not tainted 5.1
