            Bug ID: 196483
           Summary: [patch] change vfs_setopt{,_part}(...)'s len parameter
                    to fix possible DoS
           Product: Base System

          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

0001-HBSD-change-vfs_setopt-_part-.-s-len-type-to-check-b.patch

The bcopy(...) expected size_t (aka unsigned) len parameter, but in
vfs_setopt{,_part}(...) the len parameter is signed, which will cause possible
DoS in some scenarios.

After this change, the vfs_setopt{,_part}(...) function properly checks the
constraints.
