init/do_mounts.c: Harden split_fs_names() against buffer overflow
split_fs_names() currently takes comma separate list of filesystems
and converts it into individual filesystem strings. Pleaces these
strings in the input buffer passed by caller and returns number of
strings.
If caller manages to pass input string bigger than buffer, then we
can write beyond the buffer. Or if string just fits buffer, we will
still write beyond the buffer as we append a '\0' byte at the end.
Pass size of input buffer to split_fs_names() and put enough checks
in place so such buffer overrun possibilities do not occur.
This patch does few things.
- Add a parameter "size" to split_fs_names(). This specifies size
of input buffer.
- Use strlcpy() (instead of strcpy()) so that we can't go beyond
buffer size. If input string "names" is larger than passed in
buffer, input string will be truncated to fit in buffer.
- Stop appending extra '\0' character at the end and avoid one
possibility of going beyond the input buffer size.
- Do not use extra loop to count number of strings.
- Previously if one passed "rootfstype=foo,,bar", split_fs_names()
will return only 1 string "foo" (and "bar" will be truncated
due to extra ,). After this patch, now split_fs_names() will
return 3 strings ("foo", zero-sized-string, and "bar").
Callers of split_fs_names() have been modified to check for
zero sized string and skip to next one.
