From bd0a73192c3a984cefe2bae144fe1f75bc0e5366 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 07:05:19 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] tools lib api: Fix filename__write_int() writing uninitialized stack data [ Upstream commit 438ece06185696e14c63c6113d5e2d34ec0a9680 ] filename__write_int() formats an integer into a 64-byte buffer with sprintf() then passes sizeof(buf) (64) as the write length. This writes all 64 bytes including uninitialized stack data past the formatted string. Most sysfs files reject the oversized write, making the function always return -1. Fix by capturing the sprintf() return value and using it as the write length.
