From e3f26752f0f8a6aade580115e1e68bcb1a4bc040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Gang Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:04:43 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] kernel: kallsyms: memory override issue, need check destination buffer length We don't export any symbols > 128 characters, but if we did then kallsyms_expand_symbol() would overflow the buffer handed to it. So we need check destination buffer length when copying. the related test: if we define an EXPORT function which name more than 128. will panic when call kallsyms_lookup_name by init_kprobes on booting. after check the length (provide this patch), it is ok. Implementaion: add additional destination buffer length parameter (maxlen) if uncompressed string is too long (>= maxlen), it will be truncated. not check the parameters whether valid, since it is a static function.
