Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc to protect against multiplication overflows. The changes were done using the following Coccinelle semantic patch: // <smpl> @initialize:ocaml@ @@ let rename alloc = match alloc with "vmalloc" -> "vmalloc_array" | "vzalloc" -> "vcalloc" | _ -> failwith "unknown" @@ size_t e1,e2; constant C1, C2; expression E1, E2, COUNT, x1, x2, x3; typedef u8; typedef __u8; type t = {u8,__u8,char,unsigned char}; identifier alloc = {vmalloc,vzalloc}; fresh identifier realloc = script:ocaml(alloc) { rename alloc }; @@ ( alloc(x1*x2*x3) | alloc(C1 * C2) | alloc((sizeof(t)) * (COUNT), ...) | - alloc((e1) * (e2)) + realloc(e1, e2) | - alloc((e1) * (COUNT)) + realloc(COUNT, e1) | - alloc((E1) * (E2)) + realloc(E1, E2) ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxxx> --- v2: Use vmalloc_array and vcalloc instead of array_size. This also leaves a multiplication of a constant by a sizeof as is.
