In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix RESPONSE authenticator parser OOB read
rxgk_verify_authenticator() copies auth_len bytes into a temporary
buffer and then passes p + auth_len as the parser limit to
rxgk_do_verify_authenticator(). Since p is a __be32 *, that inflates the
parser end pointer by a factor of four and lets malformed RESPONSE
authenticators read past the kmalloc() buffer.
Decoded from the original latest-net reproduction logs with
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh:

Convert the byte count to __be32 units before constructing the parser
limit.
