[PATCH 1/2] [media] v4l2-ctrls: fix integer overflow in v4l2_g_ext_ctrls()

From: Xi Wang
Date: Fri Apr 06 2012 - 09:32:48 EST


A large cs->count from userspace may overflow the allocation size,
leading to memory corruption. v4l2_g_ext_ctrls() can be reached
from subdev_do_ioctl() or __video_do_ioctl().

Use kmalloc_array() to avoid the overflow.
