In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: restrict SO_RESERVE_MEM to TCP sockets and cap max value

Commit 2bb2f5fb21b0 ("net: add new socket option SO_RESERVE_MEM") and
commit d00c8ee31729 ("net: fix possible NULL deref in sock_reserve_memory")
only checked sk_has_account(sk), which is true for both TCP and UDP
sockets.

However, SO_RESERVE_MEM and sk_unused_reserved_mem() are currently only
supported by TCP:

• On UDP sockets, sk->sk_forward_alloc is protected by
  sk->sk_receive_queue.lock, whereas sock_reserve_memory() and
  sock_release_reserved_memory() only acquire lock_sock(sk). Concurrent
  UDP packet reception/release and setsockopt(SO_RESERVE_MEM) corrupt
  sk_forward_alloc and memcg accounting.
• udp_rmem_release() reclaims excess sk_forward_alloc without
  accounting for sk_unused_reserved_mem(sk).

Restrict sock_reserve_memory() to TCP sockets (sk_is_tcp(sk)) for now.
Supporting SO_RESERVE_MEM for UDP (acquiring sk_receive_queue.lock and
honoring sk_unused_reserved_mem() in udp_rmem_release()) can be done in
a future net-next series if needed.

In addition, reject val > SZ_1G with -EINVAL in
sk_setsockopt(SO_RESERVE_MEM). Without an upper bound, values near
INT_MAX cause sk_mem_pages(delta) and (pages << PAGE_SHIFT) to overflow
32-bit signed int, corrupting sk->sk_forward_alloc and
sk->sk_reserved_mem. Using a page-aligned cap (SZ_1G) ensures that the
page-rounded sk->sk_reserved_mem reported by getsockopt(SO_RESERVE_MEM)
can always be passed back to setsockopt(SO_RESERVE_MEM).
