Subject: [PATCH 23/23] libxc: Better range check in xc_dom_alloc_segment
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:15:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371147302-20767-24-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371147302-20767-1-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
If seg->pfn is too large, the arithmetic in the range check might
overflow, defeating the range check.
This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.
