Subject: CVE-2024-49995: tipc: guard against string buffer overrun

Description
===========

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

tipc: guard against string buffer overrun

Smatch reports that copying media_name and if_name to name_parts may
overwrite the destination.

 .../bearer.c:166 bearer_name_validate() error: strcpy() 'media_name' too large for 'name_parts->media_name' (32 vs 16)
 .../bearer.c:167 bearer_name_validate() error: strcpy() 'if_name' too large for 'name_parts->if_name' (1010102 vs 16)

This does seem to be the case so guard against this possibility by using
strscpy() and failing if truncation occurs.

Introduced by commit b97bf3fd8f6a ("[TIPC] Initial merge")

Compile tested only.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-49995 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
