[PATCH] net: check passed optlen before reading

From: Tamir Duberstein
Date: Tue Dec 28 2021 - 15:09:11 EST


Add a check that the user-provided option is at least as long as the
number of bytes we intend to read. Before this patch we would blindly
read sizeof(int) bytes even in cases where the user passed
optlen<sizeof(int), which would potentially read garbage or fault.

Discovered by new tests in https://github.com/google/gvisor/pull/6957.
