[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 35/35] s390/archrandom: add parameter check for s390_arch_random_generate

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-05-03 17:07:30
Also in: linux-s390, lkml, stable
Subsystem: s390 architecture, s390 crypto modules, prng driver, arch random, the rest · Maintainers: Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Harald Freudenberger, Holger Dengler, Linus Torvalds

From: Harald Freudenberger <freude@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 28096067686c5a5cbd4c35b079749bd805df5010 ]

A review of the code showed, that this function which is exposed
within the whole kernel should do a parameter check for the
amount of bytes requested. If this requested bytes is too high
an unsigned int overflow could happen causing this function to
try to memcpy a really big memory chunk.

This is not a security issue as there are only two invocations
of this function from arch/s390/include/asm/archrandom.h and both
are not exposed to userland.
