[PATCH] Prevent creation of files larger than RLIMIT_FSIZE using fallocate

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

 



Prevent creation of files larger than RLIMIT_FSIZE using fallocate.

Currently using posix_fallocate one can bypass an RLIMIT_FSIZE limit
and create a file larger than the limit. Add a check for new size in
the fallocate system call.

File-systems supporting fallocate such as ext4 are affected by this
bug.
