Subject: [PATCH 05/91] agp: fix OOM and buffer overflow

2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit b522f02184b413955f3bc952e3776ce41edc6355 upstream.

page_count is copied from userspace.  agp_allocate_memory() tries to
check whether this number is too big, but doesn't take into account the
wrap case.  Also agp_create_user_memory() doesn't check whether
alloc_size is calculated from num_agp_pages variable without overflow.
This may lead to allocation of too small buffer with following buffer
overflow.

Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory
exhaustion (AGPIOC_RESERVE and AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls).  It is not checked
whether requested pid is a pid of the caller (no check in agpioc_reserve_wrap()).
Each allocation is limited to 16KB, though, there is no per-process limit.
This might lead to OOM situation, which is not even solved in case of the
caller death by OOM killer - the memory is allocated for another (faked) process.
