Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs/statmount: fix slab out-of-bounds write in statmount_mnt_idmap<br />
<br />
statmount_mnt_idmap() writes one mapping with seq_printf() and then<br />
manually advances seq->count to include the NUL separator.<br />
<br />
If seq_printf() overflows, seq_set_overflow() sets seq->count to<br />
seq->size. The manual seq->count++ changes this to seq->size + 1.<br />
seq_has_overflowed() then no longer detects the overflow. The corrupted<br />
count returns to statmount_string(), which later executes:<br />
<br />
seq->buf[seq->count++] = &#39;\0&#39;;<br />
<br />
This causes a 1-byte NULL out-of-bounds write on the dynamically<br />
allocated seq buffer.<br />
<br />
Fix this by checking for overflow immediately after seq_printf().
