Added Description

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

bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check

start and len are u32, so

	u64 last = start + len;

evaluates start + len in 32-bit and wraps before storing it in last.
The bounds check

	if (start >= offset + l || last > msg->sg.size)
		return -EINVAL;

can then be passed with an out-of-range start/len, after which the pop
loop runs off the end of the scatterlist and sk_msg_shift_left() calls
put_page() on the empty msg->sg.end slot:

Widen the addition with a (u64) cast so the bound is evaluated in
64-bit and a len near U32_MAX no longer wraps below msg->sg.size.

While here, change pop from int to u32. It counts bytes against the
unsigned scatterlist lengths and can never be negative, so the signed
type only invites sign-confusion in the pop loop.
