[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.7 09/21] sysctl: Fix out of bounds access for empty sysctl registers

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

 



From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 315552310c7de92baea4e570967066569937a843 ]

When registering tables to the sysctl subsystem there is a check to see
if header is a permanently empty directory (used for mounts). This check
evaluates the first element of the ctl_table. This results in an out of
bounds evaluation when registering empty directories.

The function register_sysctl_mount_point now passes a ctl_table of size
1 instead of size 0. It now relies solely on the type to identify
a permanently empty register.

Make sure that the ctl_table has at least one element before testing for
permanent emptiness.
