[PATCH 3.16 165/294] x86/ldt: Fix off by one in get_segment_base()

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

 



3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eaa2f87c6b840b83827c40db6eb8481689570259 upstream.

ldt->entries[] is allocated in alloc_ldt_struct().  It has
ldt->nr_entries elements and ldt->nr_entries is capped at LDT_ENTRIES.
So if "idx" is == ldt->nr_entries then we're reading beyond the end of
the buffer.  It seems duplicative to have two limit checks when one
would work just as well so I removed the check against LDT_ENTRIES.

The gdt_page.gdt[] array has GDT_ENTRIES entries.
