In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen()
Patch series "lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in
ucs2_strnlen()", v2.
This series fixes an off-by-one out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen().
The first patch is the real fix, the second patch comes as a bonus and
fixes the code indentation.
This patch (of 2):
ucs2_strnlen() checks the current character before checking whether the
caller-provided maximum length has been reached. If the input is not
NUL-terminated within that bound, the loop can read one ucs2_char_t past
the limit.
Test the length before dereferencing to prevent an off-by-one
out-of-bounds read.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ucs2_strnlen() function. This vulnerability occurs because the function checks the current character before verifying if the maximum allowed length has been reached. If the input string is not properly terminated within the specified bounds, an attacker could potentially trigger an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to information disclosure or a denial of service.
