[PATCH 4.14 29/52] x86/MCE: Fix stack out-of-bounds write in mce-inject.c: Flags_read()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jun 24 2018 - 11:27:36 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 985c78d3ff8e9c74450fa2bb08eb55e680d999ca upstream.
Each of the strings that we want to put into the buf[MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE]
in flags_read() is two characters long. But the sprintf() adds
a trailing newline and will add a terminating NUL byte. So
MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE needs to be 4.
sprintf() calls vsnprintf() and *that* does return:
" * The return value is the number of characters which would
* be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing
* '\0', as per ISO C99."
Note the "excluding".
