Subject: [PATCH] IPC: access to unmapped vmalloc area in grow_ary()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc2~17
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9a5cd5d2a57fb76dbae2115450f777b69beccf7;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] IPC: access to unmapped vmalloc area in grow_ary()

grow_ary() should not copy struct ipc_id_ary (it copies new->p, not
new). Due to this, memcpy() src pointer could hit unmapped vmalloc page
when near page boundary.

Found during OpenVZ stress testing
