In the mtdchar_write_ioctl() function, memdup_user() is called with its 'len' parameter set to verbatim values provided by user space via a struct mtd_write_req. Both the 'len' and 'ooblen' fields of that structure are 64-bit unsigned integers, which means the MEMWRITE ioctl can trigger unbounded kernel memory allocation requests. Fix by iterating over the buffers provided by user space in a loop, processing at most mtd->erasesize bytes in each iteration. Adopt some checks from mtd_check_oob_ops() to retain backward user space compatibility.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
