CVE-2023-52435

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

net: prevent mss overflow in skb_segment()

Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1]

GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value, but unfortunately the following computation in skb_segment() can reach it quite easily :

mss = mss * partial_segs;

65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead to a bad final result.

Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller than GSO_BY_FRAGS.
