Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix acl count validation in xfs_acl_from_disk()
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:55:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323726952-22963-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)

Commit fa8b18ed didn't prevent the integer overflow and possible
memory corruption.  "count" can go negative and bypass the check.
