A broadcast PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG can carry a Gap ACK blocks record in its
data area. tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() only verifies that the record's len
field is self-consistent with its ugack_cnt/bgack_cnt counts
(sz == struct_size(p, gacks, ugack_cnt + bgack_cnt)); it does not check
that the record actually fits in the message data area, msg_data_sz().

The unicast caller tipc_link_proto_rcv() bounds it ("if (glen > dlen)
break;"), but the broadcast caller tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() discards the
returned size, so tipc_link_advance_transmq() copies the record off the
receive skb with an attacker-controlled count:

this_ga = kmemdup(ga, struct_size(ga, gacks, ga->bgack_cnt),
  GFP_ATOMIC);

A TIPC neighbour that negotiated TIPC_GAP_ACK_BLOCK triggers it with one
ordinary broadcast STATE_MSG (msg_bc_ack_invalid() clear), sized so its
data area is short, carrying a Gap ACK record with len = 0x400,
bgack_cnt = 0xff and ugack_cnt = 0. len then equals
struct_size(p, gacks, 255), so the consistency check passes and ga is
non-NULL; kmemdup() reads struct_size(ga, gacks, 255) = 1024 bytes out
of the much smaller skb:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60
  Read of size 1024 at addr ffff0000c7030d38 by task poc864/69
  Call trace:
   kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60
   tipc_link_advance_transmq+0x86c/0xb80
   tipc_link_bc_ack_rcv+0x19c/0x1e0
   tipc_bcast_sync_rcv+0x1c4/0x2c4
   tipc_rcv+0x85c/0x1340
   tipc_l2_rcv_msg+0xac/0x104
  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000c7030d00
   which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704
  The buggy address is located 56 bytes inside of
   allocated 704-byte region [ffff0000c7030d00ffff0000c7030fc0)

The copied-out bytes are subsequently consumed as gap/ack values, but
the read is already out of bounds at the kmemdup() regardless of how
they are used.

The unicast STATE path drops such a message: "if (glen > dlen) break;"
skips the rest of STATE_MSG handling and the skb is freed. Make the
broadcast path drop it too. tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() now bounds the record
against msg_data_sz() and, when it does not fit, reports it back through
tipc_node_bc_sync_rcv() to tipc_rcv() so the skb is discarded rather than
processed. ga is not cleared on this path: ga == NULL already means
"legacy peer without Selective ACK", a distinct legitimate state.
