Subject: [PATCH] basic/unit-name: do not use strdupa() on a path
b677e7
b677e7
The path may have unbounded length, for example through a fuse mount.
b677e7
b677e7
CVE-2021-33910: attacked controlled alloca() leads to crash in systemd and
b677e7
ultimately a kernel panic. Systemd parses the content of /proc/self/mountinfo
b677e7
and each mountpoint is passed to mount_setup_unit(), which calls
b677e7
unit_name_path_escape() underneath. A local attacker who is able to mount a
b677e7
filesystem with a very long path can crash systemd and the whole system.

The resulting string length is bounded by UNIT_NAME_MAX, which is 256. But we
b677e7
can't easily check the length after simplification before doing the
b677e7
simplification, which in turns uses a copy of the string we can write to.
b677e7
So we can't reject paths that are too long before doing the duplication.
b677e7
Hence the most obvious solution is to switch back to strdup(), as before
