"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: Fix wraparounds of sk->sk_rmem_alloc.    Netlink has this
pattern in some places      if (atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc) >
sk->sk_rcvbuf)          atomic_add(skb->truesize, &sk->sk_rmem_alloc);
, which has the same problem fixed by commit 5a465a0da13e (udp:  Fix
multiple wraparounds of sk->sk_rmem_alloc.).    For example, if we
set INT_MAX to SO_RCVBUFFORCE, the condition  is always false as the
two operands are of int.    Then, a single socket can eat as many skb
as possible until OOM  happens, and we can see multiple wraparounds of
sk->sk_rmem_alloc.    Let's fix it by using atomic_add_return() and
comparing the two  variables as unsigned int.    Before:
