    btrfs: Fix possible off-by-one in btrfs_search_path_in_tree · c8bcbfbd
    Nikolay Borisov authored
    The name char array passed to btrfs_search_path_in_tree is of size
    BTRFS_INO_LOOKUP_PATH_MAX (4080). So the actual accessible char indexes
    are in the range of [0, 4079]. Currently the code uses the define but this
    represents an off-by-one.
    
    Implications:
    
    Size of btrfs_ioctl_ino_lookup_args is 4096, so the new byte will be
    written to extra space, not some padding that could be provided by the
    allocator.
    
    btrfs-progs store the arguments on stack, but kernel does own copy of
    the ioctl buffer and the off-by-one overwrite does not affect userspace,
    but the ending 0 might be lost.
    
    Kernel ioctl buffer is allocated dynamically so we're overwriting
    somebody else's memory, and the ioctl is privileged if args.objectid is
    not 256. Which is in most cases, but resolving a subvolume stored in
    another directory will trigger that path.
    
    Before this patch the buffer was one byte larger, but then the -1 was
    not added.
