commit 6e9df95b76cad18f7b217bdad7bb8a26d63b8c47 upstream.
livepatch module author can pass module name/old function name with more than the defined character limit. With obj->name length greater than MODULE_NAME_LEN, the livepatch module gets loaded but waits forever on the module specified by obj->name to be loaded. It also populates a /sys directory with an untruncated object name.
In the case of funcs->old_name length greater then KSYM_NAME_LEN, it would not match against any of the symbol table entries. Instead loop through the symbol table comparing them against a nonexisting function, which can be avoided.
The same issues apply, to misspelled/incorrect names. At least gatekeep the modules with over the limit string length, by checking for their length during livepatch module registration.
