9p/trans_virtio: reject mount tags longer than NAME_MAX at probe
p9_virtio_probe() reads a 16-bit mount tag length (tag_len) from the device config and kzalloc()s tag_len + 1 bytes for chan->tag with no upper bound. A malicious or compromised host can present a tag of up to 65535 bytes; that tag is later copied into the single-page sysfs buffer by p9_mount_tag_show() (memcpy(buf, chan->tag, tag_len + 1)), a host-controlled out-of-bounds write of up to ~64 KiB past the PAGE_SIZE attribute buffer. Reject an overlong tag at probe time. A 9p mount tag is a name-like identifier, so bound it by NAME_MAX (255): that limit is independent of the sysfs/seq_file page size and is far above any legitimate mount tag, which keeps p9_mount_tag_show() safe at the root without hard-coding a seq_file implementation detail. Fixes: 179a5bc4b8cb ("net/9p: use memcpy() instead of snprintf() in p9_mount_tag_show()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Suggested-by: Christian Schoenebeck <linux_oss@crudebyte.com> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 Signed-off-by: Michael Bommarito <michael.bommarito@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Schoenebeck <linux_oss@crudebyte.com> Message-ID: <20260627211012.4042372-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>
