When block_len is smaller than\nopts->ndp_size, the bounds check of:\n\tndp_index > (block_len - opts->ndp_size)\nwill underflow producing a huge unsigned value that ndp_index can never\nexceed, defeating the check entirely.\n\nThe same underflow occurs in the datagram index checks against block_len\n- opts->dpe_size. With those checks neutered, a malicious USB host can\nchoose ndp_index and datagram offsets that point past the actual\ntransfer, and the skb_put_data() copies adjacent kernel memory into the\nnetwork skb.\n\nFix this by rejecting block lengths that cannot hold at least the NTB\nheader plus one NDP. This will make block_len - opts->ndp_size and\nblock_len - opts->dpe_size both well-defined.\n\nCommit 8d2b1a1ec9f5 (\"CDC-NCM: avoid overflow in sanity checking\") fixed\na related class of issues on
