commit: 64a817cfbded8674f345d1117b117f942a351a69 From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:11:13 -0400 Subject: nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative" length can get through here. The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an excessive size. Reported-by: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@xxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: J.
