Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on. The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, ...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the very end of the buffer. Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added past the end of the buffer (not OK.) Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the buffer originally. This is safe, and also faster. Credits to Teradata for discovering this issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
