ip_icmp_error() and ipv6_icmp_error() clone a received ICMP skb before
building its error queue entry. skb_clone() preserves the complete control
buffer, while the IP receive paths initialize only the portion aliased by
sock_exterr_skb::header. The two functions initialize ee, addr_offset, and
port, but leave the final byte containing opt_stats and unused untouched.
A TCX classifier can leave bpf_skb_data_end::data_end across that byte,
forging opt_stats and making __sock_recv_timestamp() pass skb->len bytes
from skb->data to put_cmsg(). For a non-linear ICMP skb, this reads beyond
its linear head.
Initialize both bitfields in the two clone-based producers. Do not clear
the whole sock_exterr_skb because the error receive paths consume the saved
IP control-buffer header.
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
With HARDENED_USERCOPY enabled, the reproducer aborted the unpatched kernel
on its first packet. With runtime usercopy checks disabled and KASAN left
in report mode, the same recvmsg() returned 59,964 control-message data
bytes sourced past a 704-byte skb head. Beyond offset 1,024, 58,932 bytes
differed from the prefilled userspace marker, including 6,288 nonzero
bytes. The patched build completed 2,000 packets under both configurations
without a forged SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS message or sanitizer report.
Networking selftests were not run.
Fixes: 4ef1b2869447 ("tcp: mark skbs with SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS")
