This fixes a global out-of-bounds read access in the copy_buffer function of the floppy driver. The FDDEFPRM ioctl allows one to set the geometry of a disk. The sect and head fields (unsigned int) of the floppy_drive structure are used to compute the max_sector (int) in the make_raw_rw_request function. It is possible to overflow the max_sector. Next, max_sector is passed to the copy_buffer function and used in one of the memcpy calls. An unprivileged user could trigger the bug if the device is accessible, but requires a floppy disk to be inserted. The patch adds the check for the .sect * .head multiplication for not overflowing in the set_geometry function. The bug was found by syzkaller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
