d3012b39503c5dd6d9d8e82955 Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on. The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, ...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the very end of the buffer. Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added past the end of the buffer (not OK.) Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the buffer originally. This is safe, and also faster. Credits to Teradata for discovering this issue.

Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on.

The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by
attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE,
...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the
very end of the buffer.  Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as
the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added
past the end of the buffer (not OK.)

Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the
buffer originally.  This is safe, and also faster.

kernel/params.c: fix the maximum length in param_get_string 2017-10-04T00:54:26+00:00 Jean Delvare jdelvare@suse.de 2017-10-03T23:16:35+00:00 90ceb2a3ad868f800eb1c9f4ede650daddd94b77 The length parameter of strlcpy() is supposed to reflect the size of the target buffer, not of the source string. Harmless in this case as the buffer is PAGE_SIZE long and the source string is always much shorter than this, but conceptually wrong, so let's fix it.
