II. Problem Description

An integer overflow in computing the size of a temporary buffer can
result in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.

III. Impact

An unprivileged process can read or write pages of memory which belong to
the kernel. These may lead to exposure of sensitive information or allow
privilege escalation.
