Bruce Fields Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:11:13 +0000 (-0400) Subject: nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths X-Git-Tag: v3.2.43~45 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=509d8d1dcefb35111b3f1e24f56be7d956cef439;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths commit 64a817cfbded8674f345d1117b117f942a351a69 upstream. Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative" length can get through here. The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an excessive size.
