Subject: [PATCH] IPC: access to unmapped vmalloc area in grow_ary()
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 15:39:23 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44437E6B.9060605@openvz.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 307 bytes --]
grow_ary() should not copy struct ipc_id_ary (it copies new->p, not
new). Due to this, memcpy() src pointer could hit unmapped vmalloc page
when near page boundary.
Found during OpenVZ stress testing
