rfcomm_apply_pn() accepts the MTU value from a remote PN (Parameter
Negotiation) frame without checking for zero. When the remote peer
sends an MTU of zero, d->mtu is set to 0. This causes the sendmsg
path to enter an infinite loop when fragmenting data, as each fragment
has size == min_t(size_t, len, 0) == 0, so the remaining length never
decreases. The infinite allocation of zero-length skbs exhausts all
system memory.

Fix by clamping d->mtu to RFCOMM_DEFAULT_MTU when the negotiated
value is zero, consistent with the initial value assigned in
rfcomm_dlc_alloc().

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
