commit 381d34e376e3d9d27730fda8a0e870600e6c8196 upstream.
It sounds unwise to let user space pass an unchecked 32-bit offset into a
kernel structure in an ioctl. This is an unsigned variable, so checking the
upper bound for the size of the structure it points into is sufficient to
avoid data corruption, but as the pointer might also be unaligned, it has
to be written carefully as well.
While I stumbled over this problem by reading the code, I did not continue
checking the function for further problems like it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
