Title
watch_queue: Fix filter limit check
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watch_queue: Fix filter limit check In watch_queue_set_filter(), there are a couple of places where we check that the filter type value does not exceed what the type_filter bitmap can hold. One place calculates the number of bits by: if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * 8) which is fine, but the second does: if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG) which is not. This can lead to a couple of out-of-bounds writes due to a too-large type: (1) __set_bit() on wfilter->type_filter (2) Writing more elements in wfilter->filters[] than we allocated. Fix this by just using the proper WATCH_TYPE__NR instead, which is the number of types we actually know about. The bug may cause an oops looking something like: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in watch_queue_set_filter+0x659/0x740 Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800d2c66bc by task watch_queue_oob/611 ...

Un lugar calcula el n\u00famero de bits mediante: if (tf[i].type \u0026gt;= sizeof(wfilter-\u0026gt;type_filter) * 8) lo cual est\u00e1 bien, pero el segundo s\u00ed: if (tf[i].type \u0026gt;= sizeof( wfilter-\u0026gt;type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG) que no lo es.

One place calculates the number of bits by:\n\n   if (tf[i].type \u003e= sizeof(wfilter-\u003etype_filter) * 8)\n\nwhich is fine, but the second does:\n\n   if (tf[i].type \u003e= sizeof(wfilter-\u003etype_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG)\n\nwhich is not.
