table_size() checks ALIGN(sizeof(struct table_header) + len * el_size, 8)
in size_t, where @len is td_lolen, a u32 user-provided value from the
policy blob. On 32 bit kernels both operations can overflow.
Triggering this bug allows to:
- overflow a 16 byte allocation with up to 4GiB of policy data
- store the table header at address ZERO_SIZE_PTR (kvzalloc(0))
However, this bug requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN, only affects 32 bit kernels,
and the copy runs until the machine is destroyed, so it gives no
controllable primitive and is therefore not a security issue.
Compute the size with the checked helpers and return 0 when the result is
not representable, so the callers can reject the table. A valid table is
never 0 bytes, the header alone is 12.
64 bit kernels cannot overflow (these structs are 32 bit), and are hence
not affected.
