Dan Carpenter 65b0a61ca2 ipvs: prevent integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl() 
[ Upstream commit 80b78c39eb ]

The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by
the user.  The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation
does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to
an int so the calculation can overflow.

Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user.  This check is
just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API
correctly.  An integer overflow here is not a big deal.  This has no
security impact.

Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer
overflow bug.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
