Description

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) agp_allocate_memory and (2) agp_create_user_memory functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38.5 allow local users to trigger buffer overflows, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via vectors related to calls that specify a large number of memory pages.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.6.38.5
Affected range stops below 2.6.38.5, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
