Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/3] bpftool: Fix bypass of the batch line length check by comments
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:04:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810090459.2666243-4-chenyuan_fl@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810090459.2666243-1-chenyuan_fl@163.com>
From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@kylinos.cn>
do_batch() strips trailing comments by truncating the line at '#'
before checking whether fgets() filled the buffer. If a batch line
longer than the buffer contains a '#' within the first
sizeof(buf) - 1 bytes, the truncation makes strlen(buf) smaller and the
line-length check is bypassed. The unread remainder of the line then
stays in the file stream and is parsed and executed as a separate
command on the next loop iteration.
Continuation lines handled below are affected the same way: an overlong
continuation line containing '#' bypasses the "command is too
long" check, and its unread remainder is executed as a separate command.
Record whether fgets() truncated the line before stripping the comment,
and use that for the line-length checks, so overlong lines are rejected
regardless of comments.
