From 0f22072ab50cac7983f9660d33974b45184da4f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Rosenberg Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:48:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6891/1: prevent heap corruption in OABI semtimedop When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not bound the nsops argument. A sufficiently large value will cause an integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data into the allocated buffer. Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM. Untested.
