[PATCH v2 1/7] fs/exec: replace strlcpy with strscpy_pad in __set_task_comm

From: Yafang Shao <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-20 11:28:08
Also in: bpf, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linux-perf-users, lkml
Subsystem: exec & binfmt api, elf, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Kees Cook, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

strlcpy() can trigger out-of-bound reads on the source string[1], we'd
better use strscpy() instead. To make it be robust against full
tsk->comm copies that got noticed in other places, we should make sure
it's zero padded.
