This small change simplifies the function a bit but also fixes a problem with it. Let's take an example to see this: Let's say we have a reserved range between 0xe0000 to 0xfffff (EBDA), then we want to map from the memory device (/dev/mem) the entire EBDA to a program. If a program tries to map more than 131072 bytes, the current logic will work - the start address is 0xe0000, and ofcourse it's below the limit, hence it passes the first two restrictions. Then, the third if statement will fail if we try to mmap more than the said allowed bytes. However, let's take another scenario, where we try to mmap from 0xf0000 - but we try to mmap less than 131072 - but more than 65536. In such case, we again pass the first two if statements, but the third one is passed two, because it doesn't take into account the offseted address from the start of the reserved range (0xe0000). In such case, a user can easily mmap 65535 bytes above 0x100000. This might seem negligible. However, it's still a severe bug that can theoretically be exploited into a info leak or tampering with important kernel structures. |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
