ethtool: Fix potential kernel buffer overflow in ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
commit db048b69037e7fa6a7d9e95a1271a50dc08ae233 upstream. On a 32-bit machine, info.rule_cnt >= 0x40000000 leads to integer overflow and the buffer may be smaller than needed. Since ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is unprivileged, this can presumably be used for at least denial of service. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
