PATCH 1/1 mcb: fix kasan read slab out of bounds

From: Filip Jensen <[email protected]>

Fixes the following kasan bug report reproducible when probing the driver:

slab-out-of-bounds in string_nocheck lib/vsprintf.c:655 slab-out-of-bounds in string+0x396/0x440 lib/vsprintf.c:737

Read of size 1 at addr ffff88810dd32f94 by task modprobe/661

It is caused for passing snprintf a not null terminated string as a parameter but in the format string expecting one ("%s"), thus making it read pass the valid data.

Another solution could be giving a length to the snprintf parameter:

        snprintf(bus->name,CHAMELEON_FILENAME_LEN +

1,"%.*s",CHAMELEON_FILENAME_LEN,header->filename);
However, this solution seems less readable and since there is no need to format the input, apart from converting it into a right C string, a simple memcpy is here proposed.

Mr. Kroah-Hartman:

This is a friendly ping for this patch that was accepted some weeks ago.

Thank you very much in advance.

Mr. Kroah-Hartman:

This is a friendly ping for this patch that was accepted some weeks ago.

It's in my "to get to" queue, sorry for the delay. Given that this is a very low-priority issue, it will be handled after -rc1 is out, thanks.
