Subject: [PATCH net] net: sched: em_text: require NUL-terminated algo name
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 13:10:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026041150-task-path-81dd@gregkh> (raw)

em_text_change() copies the user-supplied tcf_em_text struct from
netlink and passes conf->algo straight to textsearch_prepare(), which
forwards it to lookup_ts_algo() (strcmp) and request_module() (vsnprintf
%s).  But the algo[16] field is never validated to be NULL-terminated,
so a fully populated array reads past it into the adjacent
from_offset/to_offset/pattern_len fields and the trailing pattern bytes
during the string operations.

This type of pattern is properly checked in the string_mt_check() for
xt_string netfilter matching function, but for some reason was not added
here, so fix this up by doing the same exact thing.

Note, my tools flagged this, so I fixed this up the same way that
string_mt_check() did, but if there is some other way that this should
be resolved, or I got this totally wrong that this isn't an issue,
please let me know, thanks!
