In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix overflows checks in provide buffers Colin reported before
possible overflow and sign extension problems in io_provide_buffers_prep().
As Linus pointed out previous attempt did nothing useful, see d81269fecb8ce
(“io_uring: fix provide_buffers sign extension”). Do that with help of
check_<op>_overflow helpers. And fix struct io_provide_buf::len type, as it
doesn’t make much sense to keep it signed.
