In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for UltraSPARC
The referenced commit introduced exception handlers on user-space memory
references in copy_from_user and copy_to_user. These handlers return from
the respective function and calculate the remaining bytes left to copy
using the current register contents. This commit fixes a couple of bad
calculations. This will fix the return value of copy_from_user and
copy_to_user in the faulting case. The behaviour of memcpy stays unchanged.
