This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/net: fix overflow check in io_recvmsg_mshot_prep() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: io_uring-net-fix-overflow-check-in-io_recvmsg_mshot_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 466427d64e77b919436cf3dbef3c44069d814aa0 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 1 18:29:39 2024 +0300 io_uring/net: fix overflow check in io_recvmsg_mshot_prep() [ Upstream commit 8ede3db5061bb1fe28e2c9683329aafa89d2b1b4 ] The "controllen" variable is type size_t (unsigned long). Casting it to int could lead to an integer underflow. The check_add_overflow() function considers the type of the destination which is type int. If we add two positive values and the result cannot fit in an integer then that's counted as an overflow. However, if we cast "controllen" to an int and it turns negative, then negative values *can* fit into an int type so there is no overflow. Good: 100 + (unsigned long)-4 = 96 <-- overflow Bad: 100 + (int)-4 = 96 <-- no overflow I deleted the cast of the sizeof() as well. That's not a bug but the cast is unnecessary.
