[PATCH 1/2] sctp: correct bounds check in sctp_setsockopt_auth_key

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

 



The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly
right.  It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is
sizeof(struct sctp_authkey).

Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct,
we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.
