Hidayath KhanandJakub Kicinski d141f087b1 s390/qeth: validate user buffer length in SNMP and ARP query ioctls
qeth_snmp_command() and qeth_l3_arp_query() allocate a buffer sized by
a user-supplied length (udata_len) without checking a lower bound, then
set udata_offset to a fixed non-zero value and pass both to a reply
callback. The callback bounds-checks the copy with

        if ((udata_len - udata_offset) < len)

Both fields are u32, so a udata_len smaller than udata_offset makes the
subtraction wrap and the check pass, and the following memcpy() writes
past the allocation. A udata_len of 0 also yields ZERO_SIZE_PTR from
kzalloc(), which the existing NULL check does not catch.

Reject buffers smaller than udata_offset before allocating, so the
callback subtraction can no longer underflow.
