Subject: [patch 2/2 v2] staging: lustre: validate size in ll_setxattr()
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:23:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141022142306.GA2279@mwanda> (raw)

If size is smaller than the lov_user_md struct then we are reading
beyond the end of the buffer.  I guess this is an information leak or it
could cause an Oops if the memory is not mapped.

Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

v2:  Andrew Perepechko pointed out that the check needs to be inside the
if statement.
