Subject: [PATCH] liveupdate: truncate getfile name to NAME_MAX
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:54:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331175456.4065874-1-luca.boccassi@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

dynamic_dname() harcodes its limit to NAME_MAX bytes, which includes a
NUL terminator and a 'anon_inode:' prefix. If the name passed on goes
above the limit it results in userspace getting a ENAMETOOLONG error.

Truncate the name to NAME_MAX - 12 - 1 characters to ensure this never
fails (accounting for prefix and NUL).

Fixes: 0153094d03df ("liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions support")
