[PATCH net-next-2.6 ] Fix overflow of socket buffer in sunrpc

From: Mitsuo Hayasaka
Date: Thu Sep 01 2011 - 23:36:56 EST


The sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf fields of struct sock are sizes of send and
receive socket buffers respectively, and are defined as integer.
The sunrpc which is used in NFSD and any other applications can change them
via svc_sock_setbufsize(). It, however, sets them as unsigned integer and
may cause overflow of integer. This leads to a degradation of networking
capability.

This patch adds integer-overflow check into svc_sock_setbufsize() before
both fields are set, and limits their maximum sizes to INT_MAX.
