[ Upstream commit c5f31c655bcc01b6da53b836ac951c1556245305 ]
The integer overflow is descripted with following codes:
> 317 static comp_t encode_comp_t(u64 value)
> 318 {
> 319 int exp, rnd;
......
> 341 exp <<= MANTSIZE;
> 342 exp += value;
> 343 return exp;
> 344 }
Currently comp_t is defined as type of '__u16', but the variable 'exp' is
type of 'int', so overflow would happen when variable 'exp' in line 343 is
greater than 65535.

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.
