Subject: [PATCH master] dlmalloc: Fix integer overflow in request2size()
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:15:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241119071525.1886151-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
From: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
req is of type size_t, casting it to long opens the door
for an integer overflow.
Values between LONG_MAX - (SIZE_SZ + MALLOC_ALIGN_MASK) - 1 and LONG_MAX
cause and overflow such that request2size() returns MINSIZE.
Fix by removing the cast.
The origin of the cast is unclear, it's in u-boot and ppcboot since ever
and predates the CVS history.
Doug Lea's original dlmalloc implementation also doesn't have it.
