The hm->h.size is intended to hold the actual size of the hm struct that is copied from userspace and should always be <= sizeof(*hm). However, after copy_from_user(hm, puhm, hm->h.size), since userspace process has full control over the memory region pointed by puhm, it is possible that the value of hm->h.size is different from what is fetched-in previously (get_user(hm->h.size, (u16 __user *)puhm)). In other words, hm->h.size is overriden and the relation between hm->h.size and the hm struct is broken. This patch proposes to use a seperate variable, msg_size, to hold the value of the first fetch and override hm->h.size to msg_size after the second fetch to maintain the relation.

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.
