net: ipconfig: bound DHCP option construction

Browse source

ic_dhcp_init_options() appends the hostname (option 12), vendor-class
(option 60) and client-ID (option 61) options into the fixed 312-byte
bootp_pkt.exten[] buffer.  Only the client-ID branch checked the
remaining space; the hostname and vendor-class writes were unbounded.

A 64-byte hostname together with the maximum 252-byte dhcpclass=
identifier needs 18 + (2 + 64) + (2 + 252) = 338 of the 312 available
bytes even before the terminating END marker, so the vendor-class memcpy
runs past the end of exten[].  With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE this is
reported as a field-spanning write and, when the kernel is booted with
panic_on_warn=1, aborts boot with a panic.

Route the optional options through a common helper that makes sure the
option, its 2-byte header and the END marker all fit and drops an option
that would not.  Configurations with short options keep sending exactly
the same bytes as before.
