From: Guangguan Wang <guangguan.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
commit 7863c9f3d24ba49dbead7e03dfbe40deb5888fdf upstream.
When receiving proposal msg in server, the fields v2_ext_offset/
eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client
and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field v2_ext_offset,
once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong
address, and crash may happen.
This patch checks the fields v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt
before using them.
Fixes: 8c3dca341aea ("net/smc: build and send V2 CLC proposal")

5.15.y backport of the CVE-2024-49568 fix, requested in the 6.1.y
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260918045353.686837-1-junjie.cao@intel.com
Differences from the 6.1.y version: no af_smc.c hunk; the callers of
smc_get_clc_v2_ext() in af_smc.c already handle NULL. The
SMC_CLC_MAX_UEID define comes along. 5.15 has no UEID support and
uses the received eid_cnt only in the length check of
smc_clc_msg_prop_valid(); 8 is the limit newer kernels apply to the
same field.
net/smc builds on v5.15.221, x86_64, CONFIG_SMC=m, W=1 clean. Not
runtime-tested.
