stm class: Prevent user-controllable allocations
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826212 [ Upstream commit f08b1826 ] Currently, the character device write method allocates a temporary buffer for user's data, but the user's data size is not sanitized and can cause arbitrarily large allocations via kzalloc() or an integer overflow that will then result in overwriting kernel memory. This patch trims the input buffer size to avoid these issues.
