             Bug #: 54411
           Summary: libiberty: objalloc_alloc integer overflows
                    (CVE-2012-3509)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: fw@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: fw@gcc.gnu.org


Sang Kil Cha discovered that _objalloc_alloc does not guard the addition of
CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length against overflow.  This can cause
_objalloc_alloc to return a pointer to a memory region which is smaller than
expected.

The pointer alignment arithmetic in the objalloc_alloc macro misses an overflow
check as well, with similar consequences.
