Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: infinite loop due to overflow in ecryptfs_write()
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:13:33 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1326964413-8529-1-git-send-email-tyhicks@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12011909443668a7a65ff897afc93db177848236f08f@nudt.edu.cn>

From: Li Wang <liwang@nudt.edu.cn>

ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a
size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is
represented by 32 bits.

This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to
store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of
type loff_t.
