This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled virtio_console: Assure used length from device is limited to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: virtio_console-assure-used-length-from-device-is-lim.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 640737266e80003bcea7ca2c0895fe889cdd8a1f Author: Xie Yongji <xieyongji@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 25 20:56:22 2021 +0800 virtio_console: Assure used length from device is limited [ Upstream commit d00d8da5869a2608e97cfede094dfc5e11462a46 ] The buf->len might come from an untrusted device. This ensures the value would not exceed the size of the buffer to avoid data corruption or loss.
