[patch] vfs: check for integer overflows in posix_acl_alloc()

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

 



We've seen cases where people passed negative numbers to
posix_acl_alloc() and we fixed the caller.  For example 093019cf1b "xfs:
fix acl count validation in xfs_acl_from_disk()".  But there are other
places which might be affected like ext4_acl_from_disk() which checks
for negative but doesn't check an upper limit.
