Hi Haogang,

There is a potential integer overflow in uvc_ioctl_ctrl_map(). When a
large xmap->menu_count is passed from the userspace, the subsequent call
to kmalloc() will allocate a buffer smaller than expected.
map->menu_count and map->menu_info would later be used in a loop (e.g.
in uvc_query_v4l2_ctrl), which leads to out-of-bound access.

The patch checks the ioctl argument and returns -EINVAL for zero or too
large values in xmap->menu_count.

Thanks for the patch.

I'm assuming that either one of you will re-send the patches with the
pointed changes, so, I'm marking this one with "changes requested" at
patchwork.

I'd like to prevent excessive memory consumption by limiting the number of
menu entries, similarly to how the driver limits the number of mappings.
Defining UVC_MAX_CONTROL_MENU_ENTRIES to 32 in uvcvideo.h should be a
reasonable value.

I'd rather do

	ret = -EINVAL;
	goto done;

to centralize error handling.

If you're fine with both changes I can modify the patch, there's no need to
resubmit.
