Subject: [PATCH 2/8] MIPS: sni: bound PROM command-line appends
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 22:06:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405102002.2-mips-cmdline-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405102000.0-mips-cmdline-series-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn>
prom_init() copies SNI PROM arguments into arcs_cmdline with unchecked
strcat() calls for both the argument text and the separating spaces. A
long enough PROM command line can therefore overflow the fixed kernel
command-line buffer during boot.
Use bounded concatenation for the copied arguments and separators.
