has been resolved:\n\nnet: deal with integer overflows in kmalloc_reserve()\n\nBlamed commit changed:\n ptr = kmalloc(size);\n if (ptr)\n size = ksize(ptr);\n\n size = kmalloc_size_roundup(size);\n ptr = kmalloc(size);\n\nThis allowed various crash as reported by syzbot [1]\nand Kyle Zeng.\n\nProblem is that if @size is bigger than 0x80000001,\nkmalloc_size_roundup(size) returns 2^32.\n\nkmalloc_reserve() uses a 32bit variable (obj_size),\nso 2^32 is truncated to 0.\n\nkmalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR which is not handled by\nskb allocations.\n\nFollowing trace can be triggered if a netdev->mtu is set\nclose to 0x7fffffff\n\nWe might in the future limit netdev->mtu to more sensible\nlimit (like KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE).\n\nThis patch is based on a syzbot report, and also a report\nand tentative fix from Kyle Zeng.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KASAN: user-memory-access in __build_skb_around net/core/skbuff.c:294 [inline]\nBUG: KASAN: user-memory-access in __alloc_skb+0x3c4/0x6e8
