From 2d87b309a5d66c3ec0b4d985fe29b547282e7427 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:35:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sysctl.c: fix sizeof argument to match variable name Fix sizeof argument to be the same as the data variable name. Probably a copy/paste error. Mostly harmless since both variables are unsigned int. Fixes kernel bugzilla #197371: Possible access to unintended variable in "kernel/sysctl.c" line 1339 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197371 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/e0d0531f-361e-ef5f-8499-32743ba907e1@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Reported-by: Petru Mihancea Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/sysctl.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sysctl.c b/kernel/sysctl.c index bdf7090b106d..a2854f6e0743 100644 --- a/kernel/sysctl.c +++ b/kernel/sysctl.c @@ -1340,7 +1340,7 @@ static struct ctl_table vm_table[] = { { .procname = "dirtytime_expire_seconds", .data = &dirtytime_expire_interval, - .maxlen = sizeof(dirty_expire_interval), + .maxlen = sizeof(dirtytime_expire_interval), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = dirtytime_interval_handler, .extra1 = &zero,
