From c6c8e0d097d6ba12471c6112c3fd339ea40329d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo Date: Mon, 13 May 2019 16:58:01 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] ask-password: prevent buffer overrow when reading from keyring When we read from keyring, a temporary buffer is allocated in order to determine the size needed for the entire data. However, when zeroing that area, we use the data size returned by the read instead of the lesser size allocate for the buffer. That will cause memory corruption that causes systemd-cryptsetup to crash either when a single large password is used or when multiple passwords have already been pushed to the keyring.
