Linux kernel source tree
bcc06e1b3d
There are a few issues in this code. If *ppos is non-zero then the
first part of the buffer is not initialized. We never initialize the
last character of the buffer. The return is not checked so it's
possible that none of the buffer is initialized.
This is debugfs code which is root only and the impact of these bugs is
very small. However, it's still worth fixing. To fix this:
1) Check that *ppos is zero.
2) Use copy_from_user() instead of simple_write_to_buffer().
3) Explicitly add a NUL terminator.
Fixes:

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.
