rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow

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

 



From: Nikita Kiryushin <kiryushin@xxxxxxxx>

commit cc5645fddb0ce28492b15520306d092730dffa48 upstream.

There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.

Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
