Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tee: add overflow check in register_shm_helper()

With special lengths supplied by user space, register_shm_helper() has
an integer overflow when calculating the number of pages covered by a
supplied user space memory region.

This causes internal_get_user_pages_fast() a helper function of
pin_user_pages_fast() to do a NULL pointer dereference:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010

Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
pc : internal_get_user_pages_fast+0x474/0xa80

Fix this by adding an an explicit call to access_ok() in
tee_shm_register_user_buf() to catch an invalid user space address
early.
