Subject[PATCH 4.14 33/48] staging: speakup: fix wraparound in uaccess length check
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>

commit b96fba8d5855c3617adbfb43ca4723a808cac954 upstream.

If softsynthx_read() is called with `count < 3`, `count - 3` wraps, causing
the loop to copy as much data as available to the provided buffer. If
softsynthx_read() is invoked through sys_splice(), this causes an
unbounded kernel write; but even when userspace just reads from it
normally, a small size could cause userspace crashes.

Fixes: 425e586cf95b ("speakup: add unicode variant of /dev/softsynth")
