[patch 14/16] sctp: correct bounds check insctp_setsockopt_auth_key

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Sep 03 2008 - 13:54:19 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 328fc47ea0bcc27d9afa69c3ad6e52431cadd76c ]

The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly
right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is
sizeof(struct sctp_authkey).

Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct,
we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.
