Subject: 509: fix printing uninitialized stack memory when OID is empty
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8dfd2f22d3bf3ab7714f7495ad5d897b8845e8c1 ]
Callers of sprint_oid() do not check its return value before printing
the result. In the case where the OID is zero-length, -EBADMSG was
being returned without anything being written to the buffer, resulting
in uninitialized stack memory being printed. Fix this by writing
"(bad)" to the buffer in the cases where -EBADMSG is returned.
Fixes: 4f73175d0375 ("X.509: Add utility functions to render OIDs as strings")
