Weiming Shi 9aafba2f49 slip: bound decode() reads against the compressed packet length 
[ Upstream commit 4c1367a2d7 ]

slhc_uncompress() parses a VJ-compressed TCP header by advancing a
pointer through the packet via decode() and pull16(). Neither helper
bounds-checks against isize, and decode() masks its return with
& 0xffff so it can never return the -1 that callers test for -- those
error paths are dead code.

A short compressed frame whose change byte requests optional fields
lets decode() read past the end of the packet. The over-read bytes
are folded into the cached cstate and reflected into subsequent
reconstructed packets.

Make decode() and pull16() take the packet end pointer and return -1
when exhausted. Add a bounds check before the TCP-checksum read.
The existing == -1 tests now do what they were always meant to.

README 

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.
