Subject: [PATCH] lz4: add overrun checks to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize()
Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2014 16:11:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140703231103.GA4081@kroah.com> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Jan points out that I forgot to make the needed fixes to the
lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() function to mirror the changes done
in lz4_decompress() with regards to potential pointer overflows.
The only in-kernel user of this function is the zram code, which only
takes data from a valid compressed buffer that it made itself, so it's
not a big issue. But due to external kernel modules using this
function, it's better to be safe here.
