Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 184060] zipl/libc: Indicate truncated lines in printf with '...'
From: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com>

Description:   zipl/libc: Fix potential buffer overflow in printf
Symptom:       Crash of the zipl boot loader during boot.
Problem:       The zipl boot loaders have their own minimalistic libc
               implementation. In it printf and sprintf use vsprintf for string
               formatting. Per definition vsprintf assumes that the buffer it
               writes to is large enough to contain the formatted string and
               performs no size checks. This is problematic for the boot
               loaders because the buffer they use are often allocated on the
               stack. Thus even small changes to the string format can
               potentially cause buffer overflows on the stack.
Solution:      Implement vsnprintf and make use of it.
Reproduction:  Use printf to print a string with >81 characters (exact number
               depends on the stack layout/compiler used).

Upstream-Description:

zipl/libc: Indicate truncated lines in printf with '...'

Append '...' to lines exceeding the maximum line length instead of
              silently truncating them.
