Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] Integer overflows while scanning for integers

Hi!

Lately I wondered whether users of integer scanning functions check
for overflows.
To detect such overflows around scanf I came up with the following
patch. It simply triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() upon an overflow.

After digging into various scanf users I found that the network device
naming code can trigger an overflow.

e.g:
$ ip link add 1 type veth peer name 9999999999
$ ip link set name "%d" dev 1

It will trigger the following WARN_ON_ONCE():

Underflowing is also possible:
$ ip link add 1 type veth peer name -9999999999
$ ip link set name "%d" dev 1

Luckily in __dev_alloc_name() the overflow is currently harmless because
the function uses sscanf() only to construct the inuse bitmap.
While the overflow will cause wrong bits set the selected interface
name is later explicitly checked for being available.
But who knows what happens when the code is changed in future, at least
to me it was not clear that there overflows can happen.

So I think as part of kernel hardening we should offer a way to detect
overflows in scanf.
