[PATCH v2 1/3] tools: hv: fcopy_daemon: Check buffer limits

From: Matej MuÅila

From: Matej MuÅila <mmuzila@xxxxxxxxxx>

Check if cpmsg->size is in limits of DATA_FRAGMENT

Signed-off-by: Matej MuÅila <mmuzila@xxxxxxxxxx>
---

If corrupted data are read from /dev/vmbus/hv_fcopy, pwrite can
read from memory outside of the buffer (defined at line 138).
Added check.

Changes made since v1:
* max value of cmesg->size is now derived from structure
definition in sources/include/uapi/linux/hyperv.h
* Fixed comments
