Subject: [70/82] Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:56:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119215644.501636375@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101119215658.GA7804@kroah.com

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and
sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow.  Set limit such that they are
maximized without overflowing.
