From 697edcb0e4eadc41645fe88c991fe6a206b1a08d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaoming Ni Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 21:02:16 -0800 Subject: proc_sysctl: fix oops caused by incorrect command parameters The process_sysctl_arg() does not check whether val is empty before invoking strlen(val). If the command line parameter () is incorrectly configured and val is empty, oops is triggered. For example: "hung_task_panic=1" is incorrectly written as "hung_task_panic", oops is triggered. The call stack is as follows: Kernel command line: .... hung_task_panic ...... Call trace: __pi_strlen+0x10/0x98 parse_args+0x278/0x344 do_sysctl_args+0x8c/0xfc kernel_init+0x5c/0xf4 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30 To fix it, check whether "val" is empty when "phram" is a sysctl field. Error codes are returned in the failure branch, and error logs are generated by parse_args().
