fs/binfmt_misc.c: do not allow offset overflow
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow
the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or
possibly leak kernel data.

Here is a crash log when 2500000000 was used as an offset:

    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul.  It will work as the code
already set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field
is not empty.

Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX.  Also tested
with examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
and other registrations from packages on Ubuntu.
