Subject: [PATCH] rps: fix insufficient bounds checking in store_rps_dev_flow_table_cnt()
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:50:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324493459-19764-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)
Setting a large rps_flow_cnt like 1073741824 (1 << 30) on 32-bit
platform will cause a kernel oops due to insufficient bounds checking.
if (count > 1<<30) {
/* Enforce a limit to prevent overflow */
return -EINVAL;
}
count = roundup_pow_of_two(count);
table = vmalloc(RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count));
Note that the macro RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count) is defined as:
... + (count * sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow))
where sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow) is 8. (1 << 30) * 8 will overflow
32 bits. This patch changes the upper bound to (1 << 28).
