[PATCH 4.9 076/222] kernfs: Fix range checks in kernfs_get_target_path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Nov 22 2019 - 06:21:56 EST


From: Bernd Edlinger <bernd.edlinger@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a75e78f21f9ad4b810868c89dbbabcc3931591ca ]

The terminating NUL byte is only there because the buffer is
allocated with kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL), but since the
range-check is off-by-one, and PAGE_SIZE==PATH_MAX, the
returned string may not be zero-terminated if it is exactly
PATH_MAX characters long. Furthermore also the initial loop
may theoretically exceed PATH_MAX and cause a fault.
