Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udplite: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __sk_mem_raise_allocated().
syzbot reported [0] a null-ptr-deref in sk_get_rmem0() while using
IPPROTO_UDPLITE (0x88):
14:25:52 executing program 1:
r0 = socket$inet6(0xa, 0x80002, 0x88)
We had a similar report [1] for probably sk_memory_allocated_add()
in __sk_mem_raise_allocated(), and commit c915fe13cbaa ("udplite: fix
NULL pointer dereference") fixed it by setting .memory_allocated for
udplite_prot and udplitev6_prot.
To fix the variant, we need to set either .sysctl_wmem_offset or
.sysctl_rmem.
Now UDP and UDPLITE share the same value for .memory_allocated, so we
use the same .sysctl_wmem_offset for UDP and UDPLITE.
