Subject: [PATCH] autofs4: check dev ioctl size before allocating
Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2014 09:42:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140407014200.5099.51469.stgit@perseus.fritz.box> (raw)

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

There wasn't any check of the size passed from userspace before
trying to allocate the memory required.

This meant that userspace might request more space than allowed,
triggering an OOM.
