netmap: Fix TOCTOU vulnerability in nmreq_copyin
The total size of the user-provided nmreq was first computed and then
trusted during the copyin. This might lead to kernel memory corruption
and escape from jails/containers.
Security: CVE-2022-23084

netmap
An unsanitized field in an option could be abused, causing an integer
overflow followed by kernel memory corruption. This might be used
to escape jails/containers.
Security: CVE-2022-23085

The netmap_ioctl() function has a reference counting bug in case of
NETMAP_REQ_PORT_INFO_GET command. When `hdr->nr_name[0] == '\0'`,
the function does not decrease the refcount of "nmd", which is
increased by netmap_mem_find(), causing a refcount leak.

The 802.11 beacon handling routine failed to validate the length of an
IEEE 802.11s Mesh ID before copying it to a heap-allocated buffer.

Handlers for *_CFG_PAGE read / write ioctls in the mpr, mps, and mpt drivers
allocated a buffer of a caller-specified size, but copied to it a fixed size
header.  Other heap content would be overwritten if the specified size was
too small.

The e1000 network adapters permit a variety of modifications to an Ethernet
packet when it is being transmitted.  These include the insertion of IP and
TCP checksums, insertion of an Ethernet VLAN header, and TCP segmentation
offload ("TSO").  The e1000 device model uses an on-stack buffer to generate
the modified packet header when simulating these modifications on transmitted
packets.

When checksum offload is requested for a transmitted packet, the e1000 device
model used a guest-provided value to specify the checksum offset in the on-
stack buffer.  The offset was not validated for certain packet types.
