[PATCH net] netlink: fix out-of-bounds bitmap access clearing stale mc groups

[Henry Martin]

netlink_realloc_groups() sizes nlk->groups to the number of groups
that exist at bind/ADD_MEMBERSHIP time.  When more multicast groups
are registered later (e.g. a new genl family), existing sockets keep
their smaller bitmap.

__netlink_clear_multicast_users() however iterates every group of
the departing family and calls netlink_update_socket_mc() for each
socket on mc_list, which does test_bit()/__assign_bit() on group - 1
with no regard to nlk->ngroups.  A stale socket therefore gets bits
read and cleared past its bitmap allocation, corrupting whichever
heap object follows it; the corruption repeats on every family
unregister.

Skip groups that lie beyond the socket's bitmap: such a socket could
never have joined them.

This issue was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
