Subject: [PATCH] block: fix buffer overflow when printing partition UUIDs
Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 14:03:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120514210353.GJ2366@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120509195848.GA961@redhat.com>
6d1d8050b4bc8 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"
added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has
enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'.
Unfortunately, b5af921ec0233 "init: add support for root devices
specified by partition UUID" supplied 33 bytes buffer to the function
leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack corrupted in: ffffffff81b14c7e

Increase the buffer size, remove the dangerous part_unpack_uuid() and
use snprintf() directly from printk_all_partitions().
