Both len and off are frontend specified values, so we need to make sure there's no overflow when adding the two for the bounds check. We also want to avoid undefined behavior and hence use off to index into ->hash.mapping[] only after bounds checking. This at the same time allows to take care of not applying off twice for the bounds checking against vif->num_queues. It is also insufficient to bounds check copy_op.len, as this is len truncated to 16 bits. This is XSA-270 / CVE-2018-15471.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
