dfl.c utilizes memdup_user() and array_size() to copy a userspace array. array_size() will likely never trigger thanks to the preceding check. Nevertheless, in the theoretical event that it would, it would return SIZE_MAX to memdup_user(), resulting in an attempt to allocate huge amounts of memory. string.h from the core-api now provides memdup_array_user() which also performs an overflow check and returns an error-pointer with -EOVERFLOW to the caller. As an additional advantage it standardizes how userspace-arrays are being copied and, thus, makes it more obvious to readers that an array is being copied. Replace memdup_user() with memdup_array_user().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
