[ Impact ]
AF_RXRPC assumes it can call skb_condense() and then validly access the SACK
table as a flat buffer directly from skb->data, but skb_condense() can silently
fail to do anything under some circumstances. This leads to modification of the
received skbuff in rxrpc_input_soft_acks() and a potential incorrect access of
the buffer in a fragmented UDP packet when AF_RXRPC extracts the contents of
the SACK table. A deliberately pre-generated fragmented packet could trigger
the incorrect buffer access.
[ Fix ]
questing: clean cherry-pick
[ Test Plan ]
Boot tested.
[ Where Problems Could Occur ]
A regression in this fix could affect the rxrpc networking subsystem,
potentially causing incorrect ACK processing or misparsing of SACK tables in
AF_RXRPC connections used by AFS clients.
