Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in __ip6_append_data
Resurrect ubsan overflow checks and ubsan report this warning, fix it by change the variable [length] type to size_t.
UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1489:19 2147479552 + 8567 cannot be represented in type 'int' CPU: 0 PID: 253 Comm: err Not tainted 5.16.0+ #1 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x214/0x230 show_stack+0x30/0x78 dump_stack_lvl+0xf8/0x118 dump_stack+0x18/0x30 ubsan_epilogue+0x18/0x60 handle_overflow+0xd0/0xf0 __ubsan_handle_add_overflow+0x34/0x44 __ip6_append_data.isra.48+0x1598/0x1688 ip6_append_data+0x128/0x260 udpv6_sendmsg+0x680/0xdd0 inet6_sendmsg+0x54/0x90 sock_sendmsg+0x70/0x88 _syssendmsg+0xe8/0x368 _sys_sendmsg+0x98/0xe0 __sys_sendmmsg+0xf4/0x3b8 __arm64_sys_sendmmsg+0x34/0x48 invoke_syscall+0x64/0x160 el0_svc_common.constprop.4+0x124/0x300 do_el0_svc+0x44/0xc8 el0_svc+0x3c/0x1e8 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0xb0 el0t_64_sync+0x16c/0x170
Changes since v1: -Change the variable [length] type to unsigned, as Eric Dumazet suggested. Changes since v2: -Don't change exthdrlen type in ip6_make_skb, as Paolo Abeni suggested. Changes since v3: -Don't change ulen type in udpv6_sendmsg and l2tp_ip6_sendmsg, as Jakub Kicinski suggested.
