Subject: [PATCH v3 01/10] liveupdate: Safely print untrusted strings
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327033335.696621-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327033335.696621-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

Deserialized strings from KHO data (such as file handler compatible
strings and session names) are provided by the previous kernel and
might not be null-terminated if the data is corrupted or maliciously
crafted.

When printing these strings in error messages, use the %.*s format
specifier with the maximum buffer size to prevent out-of-bounds reads
into adjacent kernel memory.
