mm/fork: fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone
commit 7edc8b0ac16cbaed7cb4ea4c6b95ce98d2997e84 upstream.
The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393
int main(void)
{
int i, r;
void *m;
char buf[1024];
for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
if (m == (void *)-1)
printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
else
printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);
r = fork();
if (r == 0) {
printf("%d: successed\n", i);
return 0;
} else if (r < 0)
printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
else if (r > 0)
wait(NULL);
}
return 0;
}
Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.
