[PATCH 3.16 075/254] X.509: fix buffer overflow detection in sprint_oid()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 10:23:05 EST


3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 47e0a208fb9d91e3f3c86309e752b13a36470ae8 upstream.

In sprint_oid(), if the input buffer were to be more than 1 byte too
small for the first snprintf(), 'bufsize' would underflow, causing a
buffer overflow when printing the remainder of the OID.

Fortunately this cannot actually happen currently, because no users pass
in a buffer that can be too small for the first snprintf().

Regardless, fix it by checking the snprintf() return value correctly.

For consistency also tweak the second snprintf() check to look the same.
