Subject: [PATCH] random: check for increase of entropy_count because of signed conversion
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:07:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405721239-2630-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140718215054.GD18775@thunk.org>

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>

The expression entropy_count -= ibytes << (ENTROPY_SHIFT + 3) could
actually increase entropy_count if during assignment of the unsigned
expression on the RHS (mind the -=) we reduce the value modulo
2^width(int) and assign it to entropy_count. Trinity found this.

[ Commit modified by tytso to add an additional safety check for a
  negative entropy_count -- which should never happen, and to also add
  an additional paranoia check to prevent overly large count values to
  be passed into urandom_read().  ]
