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).
