[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 47/57] rds: fix an integer overflow test in rds_info_getsockopt()

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Sep 22 2015 - 13:50:57 EST


3.13.11-ckt27 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 468b732b6f76b138c0926eadf38ac88467dcd271 upstream.

"len" is a signed integer. We check that len is not negative, so it
goes from zero to INT_MAX. PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long so the comparison
is type promoted to unsigned long. ULONG_MAX - 4095 is a higher than
INT_MAX so the condition can never be true.

I don't know if this is harmful but it seems safe to limit "len" to
INT_MAX - 4095.

Fixes: a8c879a7ee98 ('RDS: Info and stats')
