CVE-2025-39917

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix out-of-bounds dynptr write in bpf_crypto_crypt

Stanislav reported that in bpf_crypto_crypt() the destination dynptr's
size is not validated to be at least as large as the source dynptr's
size before calling into the crypto backend with 'len = src_len'. This
can result in an OOB write when the destination is smaller than the
source.

Concretely, in mentioned function, psrc and pdst are both linear
buffers fetched from each dynptr:

  psrc = __bpf_dynptr_data(src, src_len);
  [...]
  pdst = __bpf_dynptr_data_rw(dst, dst_len);
  [...]
  err = decrypt ?
        ctx->type->decrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv) :
        ctx->type->encrypt(ctx->tfm, psrc, pdst, src_len, piv);

The crypto backend expects pdst to be large enough with a src_len length
that can be written. Add an additional src_len > dst_len check and bail
out if it's the case. Note that these kfuncs are accessible under root
privileges only.
