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

net/smc: check v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt when receiving proposal msg

When receiving proposal msg in server, the fields v2_ext_offset/
eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client
and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field v2_ext_offset,
once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong
address, and crash may happen.

This patch checks the fields v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt
before using them.
