Subject: [34-longterm 125/209] rds: Integer overflow in RDS cmsg handling

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@...curity.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 218854af84038d828a32f061858b1902ed2beec6 upstream.

In rds_cmsg_rdma_args(), the user-provided args->nr_local value is
restricted to less than UINT_MAX.  This seems to need a tighter upper
bound, since the calculation of total iov_size can overflow, resulting
in a small sock_kmalloc() allocation.  This would probably just result
in walking off the heap and crashing when calling rds_rdma_pages() with
a high count value.  If it somehow doesn't crash here, then memory
corruption could occur soon after.
