Subject: [PATCH] Verify memory sizes on 32 bit systems.
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 21:01:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180730190146.GA8535@localhost> (raw)
Large file system support is activated by default, which means that
on 32 bit systems, off_t is 64 bit in size.
Using st.st_size or any other 64 bit variable with mmap can lead to
integer truncation and therefore insufficient memory mapping.
