| |
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Timo Warns <Warns@pre-sense.de>
commit 1eafbfeb7bdf59cfe173304c76188f3fd5f1fd05 upstream.
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions.
In more detail:
for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {
iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an array of at most 8 d_partitions.
Add the proper and obvious validation.
