Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 184060] zipl/libc: Indicate truncated lines in printf with '...'
From: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com>
Description: zipl/libc: Fix potential buffer overflow in printf
Symptom: Crash of the zipl boot loader during boot.
Problem: The zipl boot loaders have their own minimalistic libc
implementation. In it printf and sprintf use vsprintf for string
formatting. Per definition vsprintf assumes that the buffer it
writes to is large enough to contain the formatted string and
performs no size checks. This is problematic for the boot
loaders because the buffer they use are often allocated on the
stack. Thus even small changes to the string format can
potentially cause buffer overflows on the stack.
Solution: Implement vsnprintf and make use of it.
Reproduction: Use printf to print a string with >81 characters (exact number
depends on the stack layout/compiler used).

Upstream-Description:
zipl/libc: Indicate truncated lines in printf with '...'
Append '...' to lines exceeding the maximum line length instead of
silently truncating them.
