[PATCH 5.4 124/184] s390/archrandom: add parameter check for s390_arch_random_generate

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

 



From: Harald Freudenberger <freude@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 28096067686c5a5cbd4c35b079749bd805df5010 ]

A review of the code showed, that this function which is exposed
within the whole kernel should do a parameter check for the
amount of bytes requested. If this requested bytes is too high
an unsigned int overflow could happen causing this function to
try to memcpy a really big memory chunk.

This is not a security issue as there are only two invocations
of this function from arch/s390/include/asm/archrandom.h and both
are not exposed to userland.
