udp: prevent bugcheck if filter truncates packet too much

Browse source

If socket filter truncates an udp packet below the length of UDP header
in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb() or udp_queue_rcv_skb(), it will trigger a
BUG_ON in skb_pull_rcsum(). This BUG_ON (and therefore a system crash if
kernel is configured that way) can be easily enforced by an unprivileged
user which was reported as CVE-2016-6162. For a reproducer, see
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q3/8
