[PATCH 0/5] kallsyms: make kallsym APIs more safe with scnprintf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kallsyms functionality depends on KSYM_NAME_LEN directly.
but if user passed array length lesser than it, sprintf
can cause issues of buffer overflow attack.

So changing *sprint* and *lookup* APIs in this patch set
to have buffer size as an argument and replacing sprintf with
scnprintf.

patch 1 and 2 can be clubbed, but then it will be difficult
to review, so patch 1 changes prototype only and patch 2
includes passed argument usage.

Patch 3 and patch 5 are bug fixes.
Patch 1, 2 and 4 are changing prorotypes.

Tried build and kallsyms test on ARM64 environment.
APIs are called at multiple places. So build can
be failed if updation missed at any place.
lets see if autobot reports any build failure
with any config combination.
