From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:05:44 +0000 (+1000) Subject: block: do not pass disk names as format strings X-Git-Tag: next-20130619~2^2~583 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce15eb53b5111cc990289e5c7a767d215632615d;p=karo-tx-linux.git block: do not pass disk names as format strings Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be interpreted as format strings. It seems that only md allows arbitrary strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.
