Subject: [PATCH] irda: prevent integer underflow in IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:58:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1293062307.9820.331.camel@dan> (raw)
If the user-provided len is less than the expected offset, the
IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt will do a copy_to_user() with a very large
size value. While this isn't be a security issue on x86 because it will
get caught by the access_ok() check, it may leak large amounts of kernel
heap on other architectures. In any event, this patch fixes it.
