In nfs_idmap_read_and_verify_message there is an unprotected sprintf that converts the __u32 'im_id' from struct idmap_msg to 'id_str' that is a stack variable of 'NFS_UINT_MAXLEN' (defined as 11). If a uid or gid value is > 2147483647 = 0x7fffffff we corrupt kernel memory by one byte and if CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is set we see a stack-protector panic as follows: [11558053.616565] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffa05b8a8c [11558053.639063] CPU: 6 PID: 9423 Comm: rpc.idmapd Tainted: G W ------------ T 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 #1 [11558053.641990] Hardware name: Red Hat OpenStack Compute, BIOS 1.10.2-3.el7_4.1 04/01/2014 [11558053.644462] ffffffff818c7bc0 00000000b1f3aec1 ffff880de0f9bd48 ffffffff81685eac [11558053.646430] ffff880de0f9bdc8 ffffffff8167f2b3 ffffffff00000010 ffff880de0f9bdd8 [11558053.648313] ffff880de0f9bd78 00000000b1f3aec1 ffffffff811dcb03 ffffffffa05b8a8c [11558053.650107] Call Trace: [11558053.651347] [<ffffffff81685eac>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [11558053.653013] [<ffffffff8167f2b3>] panic+0xe3/0x1f2 [11558053.666240] [<ffffffff811dcb03>] ? kfree+0x103/0x140 [11558053.682589] [<ffffffffa05b8a8c>] ? idmap_pipe_downcall+0x1cc/0x1e0 [nfsv4] [11558053.689710] [<ffffffff810855db>] __stack_chk_fail+0x1b/0x30 [11558053.691619] [<ffffffffa05b8a8c>] idmap_pipe_downcall+0x1cc/0x1e0 [nfsv4] [11558053.693867] [<ffffffffa00209d6>] rpc_pipe_write+0x56/0x70 [sunrpc] [11558053.695763] [<ffffffff811fe12d>] vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0 [11558053.702236] [<ffffffff810acccc>] ? task_work_run+0xac/0xe0 [11558053.704215] [<ffffffff811fec4f>] SyS_write+0x7f/0xe0 [11558053.709674] [<ffffffff816964c9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Fix this by snprintf and a safe length based on sizeof(id_str).
