Subject: [34/44] Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:04:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101208000642.975564500@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101208003205.GA4286@kroah.com>
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com>
[ Problem was fixed differently upstream. -DaveM ]
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.
