Each Oracle DAX CCB has a corresponding completion area, and the required number of areas must fit within a previously allocated array of completion areas beginning at the requested index. Since the completion area index is specified by a file offset, a user can pass arbitrary values, including negative numbers. So the index must be thoroughly range checked to prevent access to addresses outside the bounds of the allocated completion area array. The index cannot be negative, and it cannot exceed the total array size, less the number of CCBs requested. The old code did not check for negative values and was off by one on the upper bound.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
