Subject: kernel/taskstats.c:parse(): fix buffer allocation size
Date: Tue Jul 21 04:30:41 PM PDT 2026
parse() is failing to allow for the nla_strscpy()'s null termination of
the cpumask string. This can result in the cpumask string being
truncated.
This can result in an inappropriate -EINVAL failure or in reporting for an
incorrect span of CPUs.
Fixes: f9fd8914c1ac ("[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks")
Reported-by: Oleg Deomi <[email protected]>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/CAByWkfZ6b1=3H9pwkz-dDQOs9cZaF-HYQ6b9Yb0=Hq2r1Vv_Pw@mail.gmail.com
