What it is

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

net: ipv4: bound TCP reordering sysctl writes and MTU probe sizes

Reject invalid `net.ipv4.tcp_reordering` values before they reach TCP

socket state. The sysctl is stored as an `int` but copied into the

`u32` `tp->reordering` field for new sockets, so negative writes wrap

to large values.

With `tcp_mtu_probing=2`, the wrapped value can overflow the

`tcp_mtu_probe()` size calculation and drive the MTU probing path into

an out-of-bounds read. Route `tcp_reordering` writes through

`proc_dointvec_minmax()` and require it to be at least 1. Also require

`tcp_max_reordering` to be at least 1 so the configured maximum cannot

become negative either.

When registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate

`extra2` pointers that refer into `init_net.ipv4` so the

`tcp_reordering` upper bound follows that namespace's

`tcp_max_reordering`.

Harden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`.

This keeps the send queue and window checks from being bypassed through

signed integer overflow.
