[PATCH] ipc/sem: check nsops overflow in do_semtimedop()

From: Yi Xie

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 03:13:24 EST


do_semtimedop() caps nsops against sc_semopm, but still multiplies it by
sizeof(struct sembuf) when copying from userspace. That product can
overflow, so copy_from_user() may not match what kvmalloc_objs() allocated.

Use check_mul_overflow() and return -E2BIG on overflow.
