[PATCH] inet: sanitize socket() protocol value

From: Vegard Nossum
Date: Wed Dec 16 2015 - 19:57:14 EST


If you create a raw socket with a protocol of e.g. 0x10000, then
inet_sk(sk)->inet_num will get set to 0 since it only has room for 16
bits. This causes problems further down the line as lots of code makes
assumptions about ->inet_num, for example connect()...inet_autobind()
will attempt to call sk->sk_prot->get_port() which is invalid:
