tipc: fix divide-by-zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect()

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix divide-by-zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect() A user can set conn_timeout to any value via setsockopt(TIPC_CONN_TIMEOUT), including values less than 4. When a SYN is rejected with TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD and the retry path in tipc_sk_filter_connect() executes: delay %= (tsk->conn_timeout / 4); If conn_timeout is in the range [0, 3], the integer division yields 0, and the modulo operation triggers a divide-by-zero exception, causing a kernel oops/panic. Fix this by clamping conn_timeout to a minimum of 4 at the point of use in tipc_sk_filter_connect(). Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 119 Comm: poc-F144 Not tainted 7.0.0-rc2+ RIP: 0010:tipc_sk_filter_rcv (net/tipc/socket.c:2236 net/tipc/socket.c:2362) Call Trace: tipc_sk_backlog_rcv (include/linux/instrumented.h:82 include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:32 include/net/sock.h:2357 net/tipc/socket.c:2406) __release_sock (include/net/sock.h:1185 net/core/sock.c:3213) release_sock (net/core/sock.c:3797) tipc_connect (net/tipc/socket.c:2570) __sys_connect (include/linux/file.h:62 include/linux/file.h:83 net/socket.c:2098)
