[$] Arithmetic overflow mitigation in the kernel
Monday July 1, 2024. 03:27 PM , from LWN.net
On May 7, Kees Cook sent
a proposal to the linux-kernel mailing list, asking for the kernel developers to start working on a way to mitigate unintentional arithmetic overflow, which has been a source of many bugs. This is not the first time Cook has made a request along these lines; he sent a related patch set in January 2024. Several core developers objected to the plan for different reasons. After receiving their feedback, Cook modified his approach to tackle the problem in a series of smaller steps.
