CVE-2025-39758
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix the sendmsg byte count in siw_tcp_sendpages
Ever since commit c2ff29e99a76 ("siw: Inline do_tcp_sendpages()"), we have been doing this:
This means we've been sending oversized iov_iters and tcp_sendmsg calls for a while. This has a been a benign bug because sendpage_ok() always returned true. With the recent slab allocator changes being slowly introduced into next (that disallow sendpage on large kmalloc allocations), we have recently hit out-of-bounds crashes, due to slight differences in iov_iter behavior between the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and "regular" copy paths:

Fix this by properly setting the iov_iter's byte count, plus sending the correct byte count to tcp_sendmsg_locked.
