[PATCH] uverbs: prevent potential underflow

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

 



The issue is in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_std_types_cq.c in the
UVERBS_HANDLER(UVERBS_METHOD_CQ_CREATE) function.  We check that:

	if (attr.comp_vector >= attrs->ufile->device->num_comp_vectors) {

But we don't check that "attr.comp_vector" whether negative.  It
could potentially lead to an array underflow.  My concern would be where
cq->vector is used in the create_cq() function from the cxgb4 driver.

Fixes: 9ee79fce3642 ("IB/core: Add completion queue (cq) object actions")
