Subject[PATCH 4.19 073/425] s390/archrandom: add parameter check for s390_arch_random_generate
Date
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.
