net: sctp: check proc_dointvec result in proc_sctp_do_auth
[ Upstream commit 24599e61b7552673dd85971cf5a35369cd8c119e ]
When writing to the sysctl field net.sctp.auth_enable, it can well
be that the user buffer we handed over to proc_dointvec() via
proc_sctp_do_auth() handler contains something other than integers.
In that case, we would set an uninitialized 4-byte value from the
stack to net->sctp.auth_enable that can be leaked back when reading
the sysctl variable, and it can unintentionally turn auth_enable
on/off based on the stack content since auth_enable is interpreted
as a boolean.
Fix it up by making sure proc_dointvec() returned sucessfully.
Fixes: b14878ccb7fa ("net: sctp: cache auth_enable per endpoint")
