[PATCH 3.18 030/154] mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"?

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

 



From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3cd7645de624939c38f5124b4ac15f8b35a1a8b7 upstream.

Commit ed4d4902ebdd ("mm, hugetlb: remove hugetlb_zero and
hugetlb_infinity") replaced 'unsigned long hugetlb_zero' with 'int zero'
leading to out-of-bounds access in proc_doulongvec_minmax().  Use
'.extra1 = NULL' instead of '.extra1 = &zero'.  Passing NULL is
equivalent to passing minimal value, which is 0 for unsigned types.

Fixes: ed4d4902ebdd ("mm, hugetlb: remove hugetlb_zero and hugetlb_infinity")
