[PATCH 2/2] nilfs2: potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments()

From: Ryusuke Konishi

From: Haogang Chen <haogangchen@xxxxxxxxx>

There is a potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
When a large argv[n].v_nmembs is passed from the userspace, the
subsequent call to vmalloc() will allocate a buffer smaller than
expected, which leads to out-of-bound access in
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() and lfs_clean_segments().

The following check does not prevent the overflow because nsegs is also
controlled by the userspace and could be very large.

if (argv[n].v_nmembs > nsegs * nilfs->ns_blocks_per_segment)
goto out_free;

This patch clamps argv[n].v_nmembs to UINT_MAX / argv[n].v_size, and
returns -EINVAL when overflow.
