Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 4/4] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix current password length check
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 12:27:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909162714.2984324-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909162714.2984324-1-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().
