[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/ts_bm: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-ts_bm-fix-integer-overflow-in-pattern-length-calculation.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: lib/ts_bm: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 20:20:27 +0000

The ts_bm algorithm stores its good_shift[] table and pattern in a single
allocation sized from the pattern length.  If the good_shift[] size
calculation wraps, the resulting allocation can be too small and
subsequent pattern copies can overflow it.

Fix this by rejecting zero-length patterns and by using overflow helpers
before calculating the combined allocation size.

This fixes a potential heap overflow.  The pattern length calculation can
wrap during a size_t addition, leading to an undersized allocation. 
Because the textsearch library is reachable from userspace via Netfilter's
xt_string module, this is a security risk that should be backported to LTS
kernels.
