[PATCH 3.18 28/46] RDS: Heap OOB write in rds_message_alloc_sgs()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

From: Mohamed Ghannam <simo.ghannam@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit c095508770aebf1b9218e77026e48345d719b17c ]

When args->nr_local is 0, nr_pages gets also 0 due some size
calculation via rds_rm_size(), which is later used to allocate
pages for DMA, this bug produces a heap Out-Of-Bound write access
to a specific memory region.
