Re: [PATCH] nullb: Adjust device size calculation in null_alloc_dev()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




在 2024/9/17 15:07, Aleksandr Mishin 写道:
In null_alloc_dev() device size is a subject to overflow because 'g_gb'
(which is module parameter, may have any value and is not validated
anywhere) is not cast to a larger data type before performing arithmetic.

Cast 'g_gb' to unsigned long to prevent overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

The member variable size in struct nullb_device is type "unsigned long".

As such, changing g_gb from int to "unsigned long" seems reasonable.

So I am fine with this.

Thanks a lot.

+	dev->size = (unsigned long)g_gb * 1024;

  	dev->submit_queues = g_submit_queues;
