time: fix sysfs_show_{available,current}_clocksources() buffer overflow problem
I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code. Version: 2.6.24-rc2, File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432 -------------------------------------------------------------------- static ssize_t sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf) { struct clocksource *src; char *curr = buf; spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock); list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) { curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name); } spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock); curr += sprintf(curr, "\n"); return curr - buf; } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE. I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel (Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt) Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources() buffer overflow problem with snprintf().
