Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 41/51] modpost: fix undefined behavior of is_arm_mapping_symbol()

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit d6b732666a1bae0df3c3ae06925043bba34502b1 ]

The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
is passed in.

strchr(3) says:
  The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
  character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
  byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
  '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

Test code
---------

  char str1[] = "abc";
  char str2[] = "ab";

  strcpy(str1, "$");
  strcpy(str2, "$");

  printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
  printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

Result
------

  test1: 0
  test2: 1
