[PATCH 4.7 22/69] configfs: Return -EFBIG from configfs_write_bin_file.

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

 



4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Phil Turnbull <phil.turnbull@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 42857cf512cb34c2c8cb50f1e766689d979d64e0 upstream.

The check for writing more than cb_max_size bytes does not 'goto out' so
it is a no-op which allows users to vmalloc an arbitrary amount.

Fixes: 03607ace807b ("configfs: implement binary attributes")
