[PATCH 3.12 39/39] ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Jan 25 2016 - 06:51:13 EST


From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit 4ab42d78e37a294ac7bc56901d563c642e03c4ae upstream.

Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).

Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL. Change the callers accordingly.

Compile-tested only.
