Subject: [PATCH 3.16 076/254] 509: fix printing uninitialized stack memory
 when OID is empty

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@...il.com>

commit 8dfd2f22d3bf3ab7714f7495ad5d897b8845e8c1 upstream.

Callers of sprint_oid() do not check its return value before printing
the result.  In the case where the OID is zero-length, -EBADMSG was
being returned without anything being written to the buffer, resulting
in uninitialized stack memory being printed.  Fix this by writing
"(bad)" to the buffer in the cases where -EBADMSG is returned.

Fixes: 4f73175d0375 ("X.509: Add utility functions to render OIDs as strings")
