Overview

What is CVE-2025-21711?

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rose: prevent integer overflows in rose_setsockopt() In case of possible unpredictably large arguments passed to rose_setsockopt() and multiplied by extra values on top of that, integer overflows may occur.

Also, switch to unsigned int and remove useless check for negative 'opt' in ROSE_IDLE case.
