Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to
insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for
even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace,
this issue can be abused by a regular user.

As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should
check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each
processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is
adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid
overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

changes v1 to v2:
- add missing "static" to tipc_check_mtu() helper declaration
- rather than blocking device MTU change to too low value, disable tipc
  bearer if that happens (suggested by Ben Hutchings)

The comment says "check if ... sufficient" but the return value
indicates the opposite.  Could you make these consistent?

Other than that, this looks OK to me.  I haven't tested any version as
I don't know how to use TIPC.

Ben.

Good point. I suppose renaming the function to e.g. tipc_mtu_bad() (and
rewording the commment accordingly) would also make the code more 
readable without looking at the definition.

I'll wait for other comments and send v3 tomorrow.

I checked that the patch doesn't allow enabling a bearer on top of
device with insufficient MTU and it does for sufficient (100/128), both
in eth and udp case. I also checked that lowering MTU under 100 in eth
case disables attached bearer. I didn't run any deeper test like sending
an actual traffic but the patch shouldn't affect that.
