A contrived zero-length write, for example, by using write(2):
...
ret = write(fd, str, 0);
...
to the "flags" file causes:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in flags_write
Write of size 1 at addr ffff888019be7ddf by task writefile/3787
CPU: 4 PID: 3787 Comm: writefile Not tainted 5.16.0-rc7+ #12
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014
due to accessing buf one char before its start.
Prevent such out-of-bounds access.
[ bp: Productize into a proper patch. Link below is the next best
thing because the original mail didn't get archived on lore. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
