[PATCH v2 net] ipvs: prevent integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 03:46:09 EST


The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by
the user. The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation
does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to
an int so the calculation can overflow.

Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user. This check is
just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API
correctly. An integer overflow here is not a big deal. This has no
security impact.

Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer
overflow bug.

v2: fix %lu vs %zu in the printk(). It breaks the build on 32bit
systems.
Remove the CC stable.
