[patch] cifs: proper fix for integer overflow in parse_dacl()

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

 



I tried to fix this before by adding the ULONG_MAX check, but num_aces
is an unsigned int so it should have been UINT_MAX.  Sorry for that.
These days we can just call kmalloc_array() which has the overflow check
built in.
