net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen
[ Upstream commit dbb490b96584d4e958533fb637f08b557f505657 ] When copying in a struct msghdr from the user, if the user has set the msg_namelen parameter to a negative value it gets clamped to a valid size due to a comparison between signed and unsigned values. Ensure the syscall errors when the user passes in a negative value. Signed-off-by: Matthew Leach <matthew.leach@arm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
