The "index + count" addition can overflow. Both come directly from the user. This bug leads to an information leak. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Btw, commit 250c6c49e3b6 ("fbdev: Fixing arbitrary kernel leak in case FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC in sbusfb_ioctl_helper().") doesn't do anything so far as I can see. The "cmap->len" variable is type u32, so the comparison was already unsigned in the original code because of type promotion. But the commit was also harmless and nice cleanup. diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/sbuslib.c b/drivers/video/fbdev/sbuslib.c index 90c51330969c..01a7110e61a7 100644 --- a/drivers/video/fbdev/sbuslib.c +++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/sbuslib.c @@ -171,7 +171,7 @@ int sbusfb_ioctl_helper(unsigned long cmd, unsigned long arg, get_user(ublue, &c->blue)) return -EFAULT; - if (index + count > cmap->len) + if (index > cmap->len || count > cmap->len - index) return -EINVAL; for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
