[PATCH-2.4] range checking for sleep states sent to /proc/acpi/sleep
- From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 00:42:43 +0200
Hi,
A range checking is missing in acpi_system_write_sleep() in kernel
2.4, and writing a large integer value to /proc/acpi/sleep will cause
an oops. I could reproduce one this way :
# echo 0x800000 >/proc/acpi/sleep
Fix extracted from the PaX patch.
Cheers,
Willy
