CVE-2023-52685

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pstore: ram_core: fix possible overflow in persistent_ram_init_ecc() In persistent_ram_init_ecc(), on 64-bit arches DIV_ROUND_UP() will return 64-bit value since persistent_ram_zone::buffer_size has type size_t which is derived from the 64-bit unsigned long, while the ecc_blocks variable this value gets assigned to has (always 32-bit) int type. Even if that value fits into int type, an overflow is still possible when calculating the size_t typed ecc_total variable further below since there’s no cast to any 64-bit type before multiplication. Declaring the ecc_blocks variable as size_t should fix this mess… Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool.
