Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 2/2] lib/cmdline: fix get_options() count and overflow with large ranges
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 22:13:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111031318.849711-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111031318.849711-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Armaan Sandhu <armaan.sandhu0504@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 5d72266218b1c4dd2917f1df2b86f3b0e0a605c9 ]
get_range() stops writing once the array is full, but get_options() still
advances its index by the whole range. So "1-100" parsed into four ints
reports 99 numbers, and a range like "0-2147483647" wraps the index
negative and writes outside the array.
Stop once a range fills the array, bail out in validation mode before the
count overflows, and saturate the range length in get_range(). Add KUnit
cases; without the fix "0-2147483647" panics the test kernel.
Only root can supply this input, so this is a robustness fix.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add additional test case from Leizhen]
