[PATCH v3] sctp: reject forged cookie peer_addr with unknown address family

[Xingyuan Mo <hdthky0@gmail.com>]

When cookie authentication is disabled, COOKIE-ECHO peer_addr is
attacker-controlled. An invalid sa_family made sctp_get_af_specific()
return NULL and crash in sctp_transport_init() on
af_specific->sockaddr_len. Validate it with af->addr_valid() in
sctp_unpack_cookie(), which also rejects a mismatched family, e.g.
an AF_INET6 peer_addr on an IPv4 socket that would later crash in
sctp_v6_get_dst() on inet6_sk(sk)->opt. Validate a copy of peer_addr,
since addr_valid() rewrites a v4-mapped v6 address in
place and the cookie still lives in the received skb, which is not
guaranteed to be unshared.

For that, sctp_v6_addr_valid() has to return 0 when it is called with
a socket that is not PF_INET6, so that IPv6 addresses are never used
on IPv4 sockets. As addr_valid() now also checks sk_family and
ipv6_only_sock, simplify the address handling in sctp_process_param()
with it, as it additionally filters out non-unicast addresses. As a
side effect, a v4-mapped address in an IPv6 address parameter is now
normalised to AF_INET before the transport is created, matching what
the socket API paths already do.

Also add the missing !af check in sctp_process_init(), as
sctp_get_af_specific(AF_INET6) returns NULL on CONFIG_IPV6=n builds.

- validate the forged cookie peer_addr with af->addr_valid() instead of
  a family whitelist, and make sctp_v6_addr_valid() reject non-PF_INET6
  sockets, so a forged AF_INET6 cookie can no longer crash an IPv4
  socket in sctp_v6_get_dst() (found by Sashiko)
- simplify sctp_process_param() address handling with addr_valid(), as
  addr_valid() now also checks sk_family and ipv6_only_sock
- add the missing !af check in sctp_process_init() for CONFIG_IPV6=n
  builds (suggested by Xin Long)

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260915212917.3775248-1-hdthky0@gmail.com/
- drop the sctp_transport_new() check
- merge the !af checks into the conditions they guard with ||
- drop the comment above the sctp_unpack_cookie() check
