cipso_v4_delopt() recomputes the option length by walking the option
buffer after the CIPSO option has been moved out. The walk then reads
the stale bytes at the tail of the buffer as option data, and a crafted
setsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) buffer can make it treat one of them as an option
length, increasing opt->opt.optlen beyond the valid option data.
The corrupted length stays on the socket and is later used as the copy
length by getsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) and by the udp/raw/ping sendmsg paths,
where it exceeds the size of the buffers they copy into.
Compute the new length from the intact options before the move and
subtract the CIPSO length, and fill the padding with IPOPT_END.

- reworded the impact paragraph only, no functional change
- first public posting (v1-v3 were reviewed privately)

Hi!
This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:
- How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
analysis tool scan.
- Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
(e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.
Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.
The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
