Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show
Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show().
Convert simple snprintf to the more secure scnprintf with size of
PAGE_SIZE.
Add condition checking if we are exceeding PAGE_SIZE and exit early from
loop. Also add at the end a warning that we exceeded PAGE_SIZE and that
stats is disabled.
Return -EFBIG in the case where we don't have enough space to write the
full transition table.
Also document in the ABI that this function can return -EFBIG error.
