CVE: CVE-2024-49869
Published: 2024-10-21
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: send: fix buffer overflow detection when copying path to cache entry

Starting with commit c0247d289e73 ("btrfs: send: annotate struct
name_cache_entry with __counted_by()") we annotated the variable length
array "name" from the name_cache_entry structure with __counted_by() to
improve overflow detection. However that alone was not correct, because
the length of that array does not match the "name_len" field - it matches
that plus 1 to include the NUL string terminator, so that makes a
fortified kernel think there's an overflow and report a splat like this:

  strcpy: detected buffer overflow: 20 byte write of buffer size 19

Fix this by not storing the NUL string terminator since we don't actually
need it for name cache entries, this way "name_len" corresponds to the
actual size of the "name" array. This requires marking the "name" array
field with __nonstring and using memcpy() instead of strcpy() as
recommended by the guidelines at:
