Description

CVE-2020-35198

The APIs cacheDmaMalloc()/cacheArchDmaMalloc()/mmap64() align the size of the requested buffer with the memory page size of the target platform. If the requested size is large enough to cause integer overflow by the alignment calculation, a valid pointer to a buffer that is smaller than the requested size is returned, opening the door to use for heap overflow attacks.
