Summary
sunrpc: fix client side handling of tls alerts
Details

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

sunrpc: fix client side handling of tls alerts

A security exploit was discovered in NFS over TLS in tlsalertrecv due to its assumption that there is valid data in the msghdr's iterator's kvec.

Instead, this patch proposes the rework how control messages are setup and used by sock_recvmsg().

If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and process TLS data record types. As soon as it encounters a TLS control message, it would return an error. At that point, NFS can setup a kvec backed control buffer and read in the control message such as a TLS alert. Scott found that a msg iterator can advance the kvec pointer as a part of the copy process thus we need to revert the iterator before calling into the tlsalertrecv.
