Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/gntalloc: validate grant count before allocation
gntalloc_ioctl_alloc() allocates the grant-id array before checking
whether the requested count fits within the global grant limit. Counts
above that limit cannot succeed, so reject them before the
user-controlled allocation reaches kcalloc().
Use a subtraction-based check while holding gref_mutex so adding the
requested count cannot wrap. Also cast the count before advancing the
per-file index so the page-size multiplication is performed in 64-bit
arithmetic.
