Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netlink: Fix wraparounds of sk->sk_rmem_alloc.

Netlink has this pattern in some places

if (atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc) > sk->sk_rcvbuf)
atomic_add(skb->truesize, &sk->sk_rmem_alloc);

, which has the same problem fixed by commit 5a465a0da13e ("udp:
Fix multiple wraparounds of sk->sk_rmem_alloc.").

For example, if we set INT_MAX to SO_RCVBUFFORCE, the condition
is always false as the two operands are of int.

Then, a single socket can eat as many skb as possible until OOM
happens, and we can see multiple wraparounds of sk->sk_rmem_alloc.

Let's fix it by using atomic_add_return() and comparing the two
variables as unsigned int.

Before:
[root@fedora ~]# ss -f netlink
Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port
-1668710080 0 rtnl:nl_wraparound/293 *

After:
[root@fedora ~]# ss -f netlink
Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port
2147483072 0 rtnl:nl_wraparound/290 *
^
`--- INT_MAX - 576
