Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: csum: Fix OoB access in IP checksum code for negative lengths
Although commit c2c24edb1d9c ("arm64: csum: Fix pathological zero-length
calls") added an early return for zero-length input, syzkaller has
popped up with an example of a _negative_ length which causes an
undefined shift and an out-of-bounds read:
| BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in do_csum+0x44/0x254 arch/arm64/lib/csum.c:39

Extend the early return to reject negative lengths as well, aligning our
implementation with the generic code in lib/checksum.c
