Description

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

net: use a bounce buffer for copying skb->mark

syzbot found arm64 builds would crash in sock_recv_mark()
when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y

x86 and powerpc are not detecting the issue because
they define user_access_begin.
This will be handled in a different patch,
because a check_object_size() is missing.

Only data from skb->cb[] can be copied directly to/from user space,
as explained in commit 79a8a642bf05 ("net: Whitelist
the skbuff_head_cache "cb" field")

syzbot report was:
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'skbuff_head_cache' (offset 168, size 4)!
