sunrpc: fix possible overrun on read of /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports
Vegard Nossum reported ---------------------- > I noticed that something weird is going on with /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports. > This file is generated in net/sunrpc/sysctl.c, function proc_do_xprt(). When > I "cat" this file, I get the expected output: > $ cat /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports > tcp 1048576 > udp 32768 > But I think that it does not check the length of the buffer supplied by > userspace to read(). With my original program, I found that the stack was > being overwritten by the characters above, even when the length given to > read() was just 1. David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be probably used here. Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here. The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.
