From 3cc4e13bb1617f6a13e5e6882465984148743cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiu Jianfeng Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2024 07:22:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Fix potential overflow issue when checking max_depth MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit cgroup.max.depth is the maximum allowed descent depth below the current cgroup. If the actual descent depth is equal or larger, an attempt to create a new child cgroup will fail. However due to the cgroup->max_depth is of int type and having the default value INT_MAX, the condition 'level > cgroup->max_depth' will never be satisfied, and it will cause an overflow of the level after it reaches to INT_MAX. Fix it by starting the level from 0 and using '>=' instead. It's worth mentioning that this issue is unlikely to occur in reality, as it's impossible to have a depth of INT_MAX hierarchy, but should be be avoided logically.
