Subject: [PATCH] Fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:20:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335289853-2923-1-git-send-email-siddhesh.poyarekar@gmail.com> (raw)

The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:

\#include <stdio.h>
\#include <unistd.h>
\#include <sys/mman.h>

\#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
\#define EXTENT 16393

int main(void)
{
        int i, r;
        void *m;
        char buf[1024];

        for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
                m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
                         PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

                if (m == (void *)-1)
                        printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
                else
                        printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);

                r = fork();

                if (r == 0) {
                        printf("%d: successed\n", i);
                        return 0;
                } else if (r < 0)
                        printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
                else if (r > 0)
                        wait(NULL);
        }
        return 0;
}

This trivial patch increases the storage size of the result to
unsigned long, which should be sufficient for storing the difference
between addresses.
