Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [media] v4l2-ctrls: fix integer overflow in try_set_ext_ctrls()
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2012 09:32:37 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333719157-31240-2-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1333719157-31240-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com>

A large cs->count from userspace may overflow the allocation size,
leading to memory corruption.  try_set_ext_ctrls() can be reached
from subdev_do_ioctl() or __video_do_ioctl().

Use kmalloc_array() to avoid the overflow.
