[PATCH 3.10 64/74] mm/vmalloc.c: fix an overflow bug in alloc_vmap_area()

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

 



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

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

From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei.yes@xxxxxxxxx>

commit bcb615a81b1765864c71c50afb56631e7a1e5283 upstream.

When searching a vmap area in the vmalloc space, we use (addr + size -
1) to check if the value is less than addr, which is an overflow.  But
we assign (addr + size) to vmap_area->va_end.

So if we come across the below case:

  (addr + size - 1) : not overflow
  (addr + size)     : overflow

we will assign an overflow value (e.g 0) to vmap_area->va_end, And this
will trigger BUG in __insert_vmap_area, causing system panic.

So using (addr + size) to check the overflow should be the correct
behaviour, not (addr + size - 1).
