[PATCH 5.4 114/259] kobject_uevent: Fix OOB access within zap_modalias_env()

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

 



5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd6e9894b451e7c85cceb8e9dc5432679a70e7dc upstream.

zap_modalias_env() wrongly calculates size of memory block to move, so
will cause OOB memory access issue if variable MODALIAS is not the last
one within its @env parameter, fixed by correcting size to memmove.

Fixes: 9b3fa47d4a76 ("kobject: fix suppressing modalias in uevents delivered over netlink")
