[ Upstream commit d6b732666a1bae0df3c3ae06925043bba34502b1 ] The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$" is passed in. strchr(3) says: The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator. When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is referenced (i.e. buffer overrun). Test code --------- char str1[] = "abc"; char str2[] = "ab"; strcpy(str1, "$"); strcpy(str2, "$"); printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1)); printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2)); Result ------ test1: 0 test2: 1 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
