glx: Be more paranoid about variable-length requests [CVE-2014-8093 1/6] (v2)
If the size computation routine returns -1 we should just reject the request outright. Clamping it to zero could give an attacker the opportunity to also mangle cmdlen in such a way that the subsequent length check passes, and the request would get executed, thus passing data we wanted to reject to the renderer. v3: backport to nx-libs 3.6.x (Mike DePaulo) v2: backport to RHEL5 - fix swap paths Reviewed-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Reviewed-by: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> Reviewed-by: Michal Srb <msrb@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Andy Ritger <aritger@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Fedora X Ninjas <x@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> fixup swaps
