In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ecryptfs: pass packet set buffer size to parser
ecryptfs_parse_packet_set() receives a pointer into the file header, but
it calculates the remaining packet buffer size from PAGE_SIZE - 8. For
version 1 headers the packet set starts later in the header, so this can
overstate the available buffer.
Pass the actual packet set buffer length from the caller and calculate
per-packet limits from the remaining bytes in that buffer. Recompute the
remaining length after consuming a tag 3 packet before parsing the
following tag 11 packet.
