[PATCH] fibmap: Reject negative addresses

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

 



FIBMAP receives an integer from userspace which is then implicitly
converted into sector_t on ->bmap(). No check is made to ensure
userspace didn't send a negative address, which can confuse the ->bmap
interface, and return fuzzy addresses.

I am not 100% sure if is there any reason for ->bmap interface to accept
negative values, from the top of my mind, I really can't see a reason, if there
is a reason why we don't check for negative addresses, I'd be happy to know,
otherwise we should reject it.

Cheers
