Hi Linus,
this series fixes a bug in the IPC code that allows root to instantly crash the system. The first patch fixes the bug, the second one prevents msgmax from getting negative in the first place. As that *might* break existing userspace (for good?!) it's a separate patch.
The cc list is quite randomly choosen as there seem to be no maintainer for ipc/. :/
Please apply!
Mathias Krause (2): ipc, msg: fix message length check for negative values ipc, msg: forbid negative values for "msgmax"
