Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kdb: Fix buffer overflow during tab-complete Currently, when the user attempts symbol completion with the Tab key, kdb will use strncpy() to insert the completed symbol into the command buffer. Unfortunately it passes the size of the source buffer rather than the destination to strncpy() with predictably horrible results. Most obviously if the command buffer is already full but cp, the cursor position, is in the middle of the buffer, then we will write past the end of the supplied buffer. Fix this by replacing the dubious strncpy() calls with memmove()/memcpy() calls plus explicit boundary checks to make sure we have enough space before we start moving characters around.

Most obviously\nif the command buffer is already full but cp, the cursor position, is in\nthe middle of the buffer, then we will write past the end of the supplied\nbuffer.\n\nFix this by replacing the dubious strncpy() calls with memmove()/memcpy()\ncalls plus explicit boundary checks to make sure we have enough space\nbefore we start moving characters around."

CVSS 3.1 classifies exploitation \"by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console)\" as Local rather than Physical.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the input line \u2014 filling the command buffer near its 198-byte limit, repositioning the cursor mid-line, and pressing Tab deterministically drives the unbounded strncpy() past the end of cmd_cur[200] and tmpbuffer[256]. There is no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout condition outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:N - The SysRq-\u0027g\u0027 console/serial entry path requires no account, login, or credentials on the target \u2014 sysrq_dbg_op has enable_mask 0 and passes on the default sysrq_enabled==1 \u2014 and a panic/oops leaves the kdb prompt open to anyone at the console. On an embedded, automotive, or appliance board with kgdboc on an exposed serial header, an unauthenticated attacker reaches the prompt directly.\nUI:N - The attacker types the over-long line and presses Tab themselves at the debugger prompt. No action by any other user or victim is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds write corrupts kernel .bss within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The overflow destroys adjacent .bss contents including NUL terminators, so the subsequent kdb_printf(\"%s\", cp) walks past the buffer and dumps adjacent kernel memory to the console, and the OOB write into unguarded static memory can be further leveraged for arbitrary disclosure.\nI:H - This is an out-of-bounds write of attacker-influenced content (typed characters plus kernel symbol names) with an attacker-chosen length into static .bss buffers (cmd_cur[200], tmpbuffer[256]) that have no canary or guard page, corrupting neighbouring kernel globals and enabling control-flow-relevant corruption.\nA:H - Writing past the end of these static buffers corrupts adjacent kernel state and reliably produces oops/panic or a wedged debugger, taking the system down."
