[ Upstream commit f6e2aa91a46d2bc79fce9b93a988dbe7655c90c0 ] Recently syzbot in conjunction with KMSAN reported that ptrace_peek_siginfo can copy an uninitialized siginfo to userspace. Inspecting ptrace_peek_siginfo confirms this. The problem is that off when initialized from args.off can be initialized to a negaive value. At which point the "if (off >= 0)" test to see if off became negative fails because off started off negative. Prevent the core problem by adding a variable found that is only true if a siginfo is found and copied to a temporary in preparation for being copied to userspace. Prevent args.off from being truncated when being assigned to off by testing that off is <= the maximum possible value of off. Convert off to an unsigned long so that we should not have to truncate args.off, we have well defined overflow behavior so if we add another check we won't risk fighting undefined compiler behavior, and so that we have a type whose maximum value is easy to test for.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
