[ Upstream commit6c6bc9ea84] The first checks in mtdchar_read() and mtdchar_write() attempt to limit `count` such that `*ppos + count <= mtd->size`. However, they ignore the possibility of `*ppos > mtd->size`, allowing the calculation of `count` to wrap around. `mtdchar_lseek()` prevents seeking beyond mtd->size, but the pread/pwrite syscalls bypass this. I haven't found any codepath on which this actually causes dangerous behavior, but it seems like a sensible change anyway.

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.
