From 684a3ff7e69acc7c678d1a1394fe9e757993fd34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Wang Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:44:36 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: Infinite loop due to overflow in ecryptfs_write() ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is represented by 32 bits. This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of type loff_t.
