This fixes a kernel BUG_ON(tn->size == 0) panic in check_node_data
due to integer overflow in read_dnone().
The code incorrectly assigns a uin32_t local variable (csize) to
uint16_t structure member in jffs2_tmp_dnode_info. This results
in an overflow when the local variable csize is greater than
65536 (0x10000)
This issue is seen when kernel PAGE_SIZE is 64K.
The following example illustrates the issue:
fs/jffs2/nodelist.h
struct jffs2_tmp_dnode_info
{
...
uint16_t csize;
...
};
fs/jffs2/readinode.c
static inline int read_dnode(...)
{
struct jffs2_tmp_dnode_info *tn;
uint32_t len, csize;
...
csize = je32_to_cpu(rd->csize);
...
tn->csize = csize; // <=== result truncated if > 0x10000
...
}
static int check_node_data(...)
{
...
BUG_ON(tn->csize == 0);
...
}
