From 9b7b819ca1e508195feed5ece558dca66adeef05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 23:57:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] compat: cleanup coding in compat_get_bitmap() and compat_put_bitmap() In the functions compat_get_bitmap() and compat_put_bitmap() the variable nr_compat_longs stores how many compat_ulong_t words should be copied in a loop. The copy loop itself is this: if (nr_compat_longs-- > 0) { if (__get_user(um, umask)) return -EFAULT; } else { um = 0; } Since nr_compat_longs gets unconditionally decremented in each loop and since it's type is unsigned this could theoretically lead to out of bounds accesses to userspace if nr_compat_longs wraps around to (unsigned)(-1). Although the callers currently do not trigger out-of-bounds accesses, we should better implement the loop in a safe way to completely avoid such warp-arounds.
