[PATCH net v3] sctp: fix uninit-value in __sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup()

[Michael Bommarito]

__sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup() in net/sctp/input.c only checks that the ASCONF
chunk can hold the ADDIP header and a parameter header, then calls
af->from_addr_param(), which reads the full address (16 bytes for IPv6)
trusting the parameter's declared length.

An unauthenticated peer can send a truncated trailing ASCONF chunk that
declares an IPv6 address parameter but stops after the 4-byte parameter
header; reached from the no-association lookup path, from_addr_param() then
reads uninitialized bytes past the parameter.

Impact: an unauthenticated SCTP peer makes the receive path read up to 16
bytes of uninitialized memory past a truncated ASCONF address parameter.

The sibling __sctp_rcv_init_lookup() bounds parameters with
sctp_walk_params(); this path open-codes the fetch and omits the bound.
Verify the whole address parameter lies within the chunk before
from_addr_param() reads it, the same class of fix as commit 51e5ad549c43
("net: sctp: fix KMSAN uninit-value in sctp_inq_pop").

v3:
- Simplify to a single bounds check that the whole address parameter
  fits in the chunk, written as an addition to avoid unsigned wrap
  (David Laight); drop the redundant lower-bound test and the
  param_space/plen locals (Xin Long).
v2:
- Regenerate from net/main so the patch has index lines and applies
  cleanly (Xin Long).
- Use unsigned int for the decoded length and compare it against the
  remaining parameter space after the ADDIP header (David Laight).
