Symlink target location stored in DataBuffer is encoded in UTF-16. So check that symlink DataBuffer length is non-zero and even number. And check that DataBuffer does not contain UTF-16 null codepoint because Linux cannot process symlink with null byte. DataBuffer for char and block devices is 8 bytes long as it contains two 32-bit numbers (major and minor). Add check for this. DataBuffer buffer for sockets and fifos zero-length. Add checks for this. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Paulo Alcantara (Red Hat) <pc@manguebit.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
