From 1c24de60e50fb19b94d94225458da17c720f0729 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerome Marchand Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:37:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/groups.c: fix integer overflow in groups_search gid_t is a unsigned int. If group_info contains a gid greater than MAX_INT, groups_search() function may look on the wrong side of the search tree. This solves some unfair "permission denied" problems.
