This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: kcm: fix incorrect parameter validation in the kcm_getsockopt) function to the 4.19-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: net-kcm-fix-incorrect-parameter-validation-in-the-kc.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f220a88840f2cea7d6c3d7fa0d3ddfcd06d28ffa Author: Gavrilov Ilia <Ilia.Gavrilov@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 7 14:23:50 2024 +0000 net: kcm: fix incorrect parameter validation in the kcm_getsockopt) function [ Upstream commit 3ed5f415133f9b7518fbe55ba9ae9a3f5e700929 ] The 'len' variable can't be negative when assigned the result of 'min_t' because all 'min_t' parameters are cast to unsigned int, and then the minimum one is chosen. To fix the logic, check 'len' as read from 'optlen', where the types of relevant variables are (signed) int.
