From: Eric Biggers <ebigg...@google.com> Adding a dns_resolver key whose payload contains a very long option name resulted in that string being printed in full. This hit the WARN_ONCE() in set_precision() during the printk(), because printk() only supports a precision of up to 32767 bytes:
precision 1000000 too large WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 752 at lib/vsprintf.c:2189 vsnprintf+0x4bc/0x5b0 Fix it by limiting option strings (combined name + value) to a much more reasonable 128 bytes. The exact limit is arbitrary, but currently the only recognized option is formatted as "dnserror=%lu" which fits well within this limit. Reproducer: perl -e 'print "#", "A" x 1000000, "\x00"' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s This bug was found using syzkaller.
