commit 8cdf30813e upstream.
The ts_kmp algorithm stores its prefix_tbl[] table and pattern in a single
allocation sized from the pattern length. If the prefix_tbl[] size
calculation wraps, the resulting allocation can be too small and
subsequent pattern copies can overflow it.
Fix this by rejecting zero-length patterns and by using overflow helpers
before calculating the combined allocation size.
This fixes a potential heap overflow. The pattern length calculation can
wrap during a size_t addition, leading to an undersized allocation.
Because the textsearch library is reachable from userspace via Netfilter's
xt_string module, this is a security risk that should be backported to LTS
kernels.
