When processing a RESET_IN_REQUEST from a peer,
sctp_process_strreset_inreq() derives the stream count from the
parameter length but does not check whether the resulting
RESET_OUT_REQUEST response would exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.
The OUT request header (sctp_strreset_outreq, 16 bytes) is 8 bytes larger
than the IN request header (sctp_strreset_inreq, 8 bytes). Generally, the
IP payload is bounded to 65535 bytes, so the stream list cannot be
large enough to trigger the overflow. However, on interfaces with MTU >
65535 (e.g., loopback with IPv6 jumbograms), a stream list that fits
within the incoming IN parameter can cause a __u16 overflow in
sctp_make_strreset_req() when computing the OUT response size, leading to
an undersized skb allocation, raising a kernel BUG:
net/core/skbuff.c:207 skb_panic
net/core/skbuff.c:2625 skb_put
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1535 sctp_addto_chunk
net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:3695 sctp_make_strreset_req
net/sctp/stream.c:655 sctp_process_strreset_inreq
The local setsockopt path (sctp_send_reset_streams) already performs length
validation, but the network packet path does not. Fix by adding similar
length check before calling sctp_make_strreset_req().
Fixes: 7f9d68ac944e ("sctp: implement sender-side procedures for SSN Reset
Request Parameter")
