The sprint_oid() utility function doesn't properly check the buffer size that it causes that the warning in vsnprintf() be triggered. For example on v4.1 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2357 at lib/vsprintf.c:1867 vsnprintf+0x5a7/0x5c0() ... We can trigger this issue by injecting maliciously crafted x509 cert in DER format. Just using hex editor to change the length of OID to over the length of the SEQUENCE container. For example: 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 980 cons: SEQUENCE 4:d=1 hl=4 l= 700 cons: SEQUENCE 8:d=2 hl=2 l= 3 cons: cont [ 0 ] 10:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :02 13:d=2 hl=2 l= 9 prim: INTEGER :9B47FAF791E7D1E3 24:d=2 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE 26:d=3 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :sha256WithRSAEncryption 37:d=3 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL 39:d=2 hl=2 l= 121 cons: SEQUENCE 41:d=3 hl=2 l= 22 cons: SET 43:d=4 hl=2 l= 20 cons: SEQUENCE <=== the SEQ length is 20 45:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :organizationName <=== the original length is 3, change the length of OID to over the length of SEQUENCE Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported this problem and Takashi Iwai provided patch to fix it by checking the bufsize in sprint_oid().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
