[PATCH v2 2/3] kernel/sysctl.c: add missing range check in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv

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

 



This bug has apparently existed since the introduction of this function
in the pre-git era (4500e91754d3 in Thomas Gleixner's history.git,
"[NET]: Add proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies, use it for proper handling of
neighbour sysctls.").  As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the
corresponding check in do_proc_dointvec_conv().
