From ab9489c4db894cc60f30430f80464eec8ccdf066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Thibault Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:29:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: speakup: fix wraparound in uaccess length check 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.
