    net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument · 79462ad0
    Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
    郭永刚 reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
    using a simple program:
    
    	int socket_fd;
    	struct sockaddr_in addr;
    	addr.sin_port = 0;
    	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    	addr.sin_family = 10;
    
    	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
    	connect(socket_fd , &addr,16);
    
    AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
    identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
    thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
    store a zero in the protocol fields.
    
    This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
    the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
    is NULL for raw sockets.
