From afb39909bfb5c08111f99e21bf5be7505f59ff1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikita Kiryushin Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2024 22:43:15 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info() [ Upstream commit 3758f7d9917bd7ef0482c4184c0ad673b4c4e069 ] The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case, buffer overflow. Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes, but it is not obvious from the code. This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a clarifying comment about intention of %ld format. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
