Subject: CVE request: kernel: btrfs heap overflow
Commit bf5fc093c5b625e4259203f1cee7ca73488a5620 refactored
btrfs_ioctl_space_info() and introduced security issues. Since they
were all introduced at once and fixed at the same time, one CVE should
suffice.
Due to integer truncation or a signedness error in a typecasted
comparison, an integer overflow in an allocation size calculation, and
a failure to properly check bounds when copying data, it was possible
for an unprivileged user to cause a denial-of-service due to writing
to an invalid pointer (ZERO_SIZE_PTR) or cause a kernel heap overflow.
