[PATCH 4.16 30/64] x86/MCE: Fix stack out-of-bounds write in mce-inject.c: Flags_read()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.16-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".
