Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2015 17:10:28 +0200 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lib: Fix strnlen_user() to not touch memory after specified maximum If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were not expected to. Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the specified range.
