There are several places to perform subtraction to calculate buffer size such as: si->si_ofs.cydata_size = si->si_ofs.test_ofs - si->si_ofs.cydata_ofs; ... p = krealloc(si->si_ptrs.cydata, si->si_ofs.cydata_size, GFP_KERNEL); Actually, data types of above variables during subtraction are size_t, so it is unsigned. That means if second operand(si->si_ofs.cydata_ofs) is greater than the first operand(si->si_ofs.test_ofs), then resulting si->si_ofs.cydata_size could result in an unsigned integer wrap which is not desirable. The proper way to correct this problem is to perform a test of both operands to avoid having unsigned wrap.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
