[PATCH 4.8 007/140] spi: spidev_test: Fix buffer overflow in unescape()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 26 2016 - 09:29:48 EST
4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0278b34bf15f8d8a609595b15909cd8622dd64ca upstream.
Sometimes spidev_test crashes with:
*** Error in `spidev_test': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00022020 ***
Aborted
or just
Segmentation fault
This is due to transfer_escaped_string() miscalculating the required
size of the buffer by one byte, causing a buffer overflow in unescape().
Drop the bogus "+ 1" in the strlen() parameter to fix this.
Note that unescape() never copies the zero-terminator of the source
string, so it writes at most as many bytes as the length of the source
string.
Fixes: 30061915be6e3a2c (spi: spidev_test: Added input buffer from the terminal)
