agp: fix arbitrary kernel memory writes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
pg_start is copied from userspace on AGPIOC_BIND and AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl
cmds of agp_ioctl() and passed to agpioc_bind_wrap().  As said in the
comment, (pg_start + mem->page_count) may wrap in case of AGPIOC_BIND,
and it is not checked at all in case of AGPIOC_UNBIND.  As a result, user
with sufficient privileges (usually "video" group) may generate either
local DoS or privilege escalation.
