In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: module: prevent NULL pointer dereference in vsnprintf()
In of_modalias(), we can get passed the str and len parameters which would
cause a kernel oops in vsnprintf() since it only allows passing a NULL ptr
when the length is also 0. Also, we need to filter out the negative values
of the len parameter as these will result in a really huge buffer since
snprintf() takes size_t parameter while ours is ssize_t...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.
