Integer overflow after CEIL4 alignment: Signed int variables could\n   overflow during 4-byte boundary alignment, causing undersized\n   buffer allocations or incorrect bounds checking.\n2. Missing minimum size validation: The CPRBX structure is copied from\n   userspace without verifying sufficient buffer length. Undersized\n   buffers cause uninitialized memory access when reading structure\n   fields like cprbx.cprb_len and cprbx.domain.\n3. Arithmetic overflow in sum calculations: Adding control block and\n   data block sizes could overflow, bypassing size checks and enabling\n   buffer overflows.\n\nFix by using size_t for length calculations, adding U32_MAX boundary\nchecks after alignment, validating minimum control block size before\ncopying from userspace, and detecting sum calculation overflows."
