Subject: [PATCH] fuse: convert page array allocation to kcalloc()
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 15:29:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601192934.617233-1-william@theesfeld.net> (raw)
fuse_get_user_pages() allocates the temporary pages[] array used by
iov_iter_extract_pages() with the open-coded kzalloc(n * sizeof(*p),
...) form. max_pages is derived from the inbound iov_iter and is not
bounded at compile time, so the multiplication can overflow on
sufficiently large iter counts; the resulting too-small allocation
would then be written past by iov_iter_extract_pages().
Switch to kcalloc(), which carries the same zero-on-allocation
semantics and adds the standard size_mul overflow check. No
functional change for non-overflow inputs.
