[PATCH 086/102] nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Apr 08 2013 - 05:58:54 EST


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

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

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
