PATCH RESEND v2 1/1 KEYS: DNS: limit the length of option strings

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Adding a dns_resolver key whose payload contains a very long option name resulted in that string being printed in full. This hit the WARN_ONCE() in set_precision() during the printk(), because printk() only supports a precision of up to 32767 bytes:

    precision 1000000 too large
    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 752 at lib/vsprintf.c:2189 vsnprintf+0x4bc/0x5b0

Fix it by limiting option strings (combined name + value) to a much more reasonable 128 bytes. The exact limit is arbitrary, but currently the only recognized option is formatted as "dnserror=%lu" which fits well within this limit.

Also ratelimit the printks.

Reproducer:

    perl -e 'print "#", "A" x 1000000, "\x00"' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s

This bug was found using syzkaller.

Fixes 4a2d789267e0 ("DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]")

Applied, thanks.

Can you queue this up for stable too? syzbot has been hitting this on older kernel versions.

If you want a patch bound for stable, it must show up in Linus's tree first which means you should target 'net' rather than 'net-next'.

Okay, can you move the patch there, or do I need to resend, or is it too late already? It's a clean cherry-pick. Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the quirks of net and netdev -- most other maintainers do things differently.

Thanks,

It's already in net-next, so submit another copy based on net.
