[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/6] xmalloc: guard against integer overflow

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

There are hypercall handling paths (EFI ones are what this was found
with) needing to allocate buffers of a caller specified size. This is
generally fine, as our page allocator enforces an upper bound on all
allocations. However, certain extremely large sizes could, when adding
in allocator overhead, result in an apparently tiny allocation size,
which would typically result in either a successful allocation, but a
severe buffer overrun when using that memory block, or in a crash right
in the allocator code.
