Subject: [PATCH] calloc: handle wrap around in total buffer size correctly
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2024 11:47:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240724094744.894205-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

calloc() should allocate a memory buffer that fits the product of its
arguments or return NULL if this is not possible.

We violated this so far and a wraparound would result in allocating a
too small buffer leading to buffer overflows.

Fix this by using size_mull which saturates at SIZE_MAX, which malloc
should gracefully return NULL for.
