nilfs2: potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments()
There is a potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
When a large argv[n].v_nmembs is passed from the userspace, the subsequent
call to vmalloc() will allocate a buffer smaller than expected, which
leads to out-of-bound access in nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() and
lfs_clean_segments().
The following check does not prevent the overflow because nsegs is also
controlled by the userspace and could be very large.
if (argv[n].v_nmembs > nsegs * nilfs->ns_blocks_per_segment)
goto out_free;
This patch clamps argv[n].v_nmembs to UINT_MAX / argv[n].v_size, and
returns -EINVAL when overflow.
