CVE-2023-53778CVE-2023-53778
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/qaic: Clean up integer overflow checking in map_user_pages()
The encode_dma() function has some validation on in_trans->size but it
would be more clear to move those checks to find_and_map_user_pages().
The encode_dma() had two checks:
if (in_trans->addr + in_trans->size < in_trans->addr || !in_trans->size)
return -EINVAL;
The in_trans->addr variable is the starting address. The in_trans->size
variable is the total size of the transfer. The transfer can occur in
parts and the resources->xferred_dma_size tracks how many bytes we have
already transferred.
This patch introduces a new variable "remaining" which represents the
amount we want to transfer (in_trans->size) minus the amount we have
already transferred (resources->xferred_dma_size).
I have modified the check for if in_trans->size is zero to instead check
if in_trans->size is less than resources->xferred_dma_size. If we have
already transferred
