Subject: [PATCH] um: vector: reject interface specifications with too many arguments
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:37:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417073704.1817-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
uml_parse_vector_ifspec() stores parsed key/value pairs in the fixed
struct arglist token and value arrays, which are both sized to MAXVARGS.
The parser increments numargs as it discovers pairs, but it never checks
whether another slot is still available before writing into the arrays.
Reject interface specifications that exceed MAXVARGS instead of writing
past the end of the fixed argument arrays.
Fixes: 49da7e64f33e ("High Performance UML Vector Network Driver")
