[PATCH 4.8 89/96] kconfig/nconf: Fix hang when editing symbol with a long prompt

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jan 06 2017 - 16:54:14 EST


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

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 79e51b5c2deea542b3bb8c66e0d502230b017dde upstream.

Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a
prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters. dialog_inputbox()
calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails
as this is invalid. It also doesn't check for this failure, so it
busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1.

The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended
size of the window.

Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to
show_scroll_win().

Fixes: 692d97c380c6 ("kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)")
