Subject: Out-of-bounds access in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax

Hi,

I am working on AddressSanitizer, a fast memory error detector for kernel:
https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerForKernel

Here is a bug report that I've got while running trinity:

==================================================================

==================================================================

The core creates ctl_table as:

static int zero;
static int one = 1;
static int int_max = INT_MAX;
static struct ctl_table ipc_kern_table[] = {
{
...
  {
    .procname = "shm_rmid_forced",
    .data = &init_ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced,
    .maxlen = sizeof(init_ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced),
    .mode = 0644,
    .proc_handler = proc_ipc_dointvec_minmax_orphans,
    .extra1 = &zero,
    .extra2 = &one,
  },

But later extra1/2 are casted to *unsigned long**:

static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table
*table, int write, ...
{
  ...
  min = (unsigned long *) table->extra1;
  max = (unsigned long *) table->extra2;

This leads to bogus bounds check for the sysctl value.

The bug is added in commit:

commit 9eefe520c814f6f62c5d36a2ddcd3fb99dfdb30e
Author: Nadia Derbey <Nadia.Derbey@...l.net>
Date:   Fri Jul 25 01:48:08 2008 -0700

Later zero and one were used in a bunch of other ctl_table's.
