Subject: Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 13/16] vdpa: clean up get_config_size ret
value handling
The mitre.org page
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2022-0998
says this is a fix for CVE-2022-0998 but if you apply it by itself it
creates a serious security problem. Originally this bug only affected
32 bit systems but this patch will change it to affect everyone.
You need to apply commit 3ed21c1451a1 ("vdpa: check that offsets are
within bounds").
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3ed21c1451a14d139e1ceb18f2fa70865ce3195a
I don't know if this affects anyone, but it seemed worth mentioning.
regards,
dan carpenter
