[$] 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.
