Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix current password length check
Date: Wed,  9 Sep 2026 11:10:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909151021.2821213-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909151021.2821213-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

[ Upstream commit 54745d563114b74f6fecebce68cd020d06c1772b ]

current_password_store() checks the password length before removing the
trailing newline, which can reject valid passwords that are exactly
->maxlen bytes long.

It also passes ->maxlen to strscpy(), which truncates passwords without
a newline.

Use strchrnul() to measure the password length up to the newline, then
copy that many bytes and add a trailing NUL terminator using strscpy().
