Description

Somebody can pass negative values as a number of bytes to be copied from user. But copy_from_user() (and some similar functions) expects unsigned long int value, so negative values will lead to integer underflow. This issue belongs to specific:check_params, but also can be treated as generic:int_overflow. Commit 064368f of linux-stable represents the issue. Model 111_2a will take care on it.
And in additional 111_2a check if number of bytes is less than buffer's size.
