Summary
rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rcu-tasks: Fix showrcutaskstracegp_kthread buffer overflow

There is a possibility of buffer overflow in showrcutaskstracegp_kthread() if counters, passed to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still possible.

Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
