Re: [PATCH 1/3] tools: hv: fcopy_daemon: Check buffer limits

Now the size is now determined from the structure definition in
include/uapi/linux/hyperv.h

Fixed

I'm sorry, the (missing) filename mistake occured in copy-paste process.


Here is the patch as it (I hope) should look like:
---
From: Matej MuÅila <mmuzila@xxxxxxxxxx>

Check if cpmsg->size is in limits of DATA_FRAGMENT

Signed-off-by: Matej MuÅila <mmuzila@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
If corrupted data are read from /dev/vmbus/hv_fcopy, pwrite can
read from memory outside of the buffer (defined at line 138).
Added check.
