Subject: malloc: Check for integer overflow in valloc.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=71d84750188dc6e1d45a9d05e40b00c430dc5637;p=thirdparty%2Fglibc.git

malloc: Check for integer overflow in valloc.

A large bytes parameter to valloc could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

ChangeLog:

	[BZ #15856]
	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_valloc): Check the value of bytes
	does not overflow.
