Currently, we allocate a lbuf-sized kernel buffer and copy lbuf from
userspace to that buffer. Later, we use scanf on this buffer but we don't
ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead to
OOB read when using scanf. Fix this issue by allocating 1 more byte to at
the end of buffer and write NULL terminator to the end of buffer after
userspace copying.

This would read one byte too much from user space, and could potentially
fault.
Why isn't this simply memdup_user_nul() like all others, which would do the
right thing?
Thanks for your review. It's my mistake, I blindly follow the pattern in
rvu_debugfs
static ssize_t rvu_dbg_qsize_write(struct file *filp,
const char __user *buffer, size_t count,
loff_t *ppos, int blktype)
{
cmd_buf = memdup_user(buffer, count + 1);
if (IS_ERR(cmd_buf))
return -ENOMEM;
cmd_buf[count] = '\0';
}
I will send a patch to fix this too.
For this case, as the original code uses vmemdup_user, which internally
uses kvmalloc not kmalloc, so I try to keep the original behavior. And
vmemdup_user does not have the counterpart vmemdup_user_nul. I can
kvmalloc(lbuf + 1), then copy_to_user(lbuf) and set buffer[lbuf] = '\0'
or do you think I should create vmemdup_user_nul?
Thanks,
Quang Minh.
