Re: [PATCH] NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decode

So, what you've done is:

-+ if (end - p < xlen)
++ if (end - p < xlen + 1)
goto short_pkt;
+ dprintk("filename = %*s\n", len, (char *)p);
+ p += xlen;
len = ntohl(*p++); /* bitmap length */
- p += len;
- if (p + 1 > end)
-+ if (end - p < len)
++ if (end - p < len + 1)
goto short_pkt;
+ p += len;
attrlen = XDR_QUADLEN(ntohl(*p++));
- p += attrlen; /* attributes */
- if (p + 2 > end)
-+ if (end - p < attrlen + 1)
++ if (end - p < attrlen + 2)

But is this equivalent:

-+ if (end - p < xlen)
++ if (end - p <= xlen)
goto short_pkt;
+ dprintk("filename = %*s\n", len, (char *)p);
+ p += xlen;
len = ntohl(*p++); /* bitmap length */
- p += len;
- if (p + 1 > end)
-+ if (end - p < len)
++ if (end - p <= len)
goto short_pkt;
+ p += len;
attrlen = XDR_QUADLEN(ntohl(*p++));
- p += attrlen; /* attributes */
- if (p + 2 > end)
-+ if (end - p < attrlen + 1)
++ if (end - p <= attrlen + 1)

Do you think?
