Subject: [PATCH] fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:50:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080919155003.GB3114@redhat.com> (raw)
hi,
With MAX_ARG_STRINGS set to 0x7FFFFFFF, and being passed to 'count()'
and compat_count(), it would appear that the current max bounds check
of fs/exec.c:394:
if(++i > max)
return -E2BIG;
would never trigger. Since 'i' is of type int, so values would wrap and the
function would continue looping.
Simple fix seems to be chaning ++i to i++ and checking for '>='.
thanks,
-Jason
