[PATCH v2] media: rc: ir-lirc-codec: fix integer overflow

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

 



'n' may be bigger than MAX_INT*sizeof(int), if so checking of truncated
(int)(n/sizeof(int)) for LIRCBUF_SIZE overflows and then using nontruncated 'count'
doesn't make sense.  This is not a security issue as too big 'n' is catched in
kmalloc() in memdup_user() call.  However, it's better to prevent WARN() in kmalloc().
