Juergen Gross 5c5ff7c7bd Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c
commit 27fdbab422 upstream.

The build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is
neither NUL terminated nor a string.

The first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will
read and copy till it finds a NUL.

00000000  f4 91 51 f4 dd 38 9e 9d  65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50  |..Q..8..eGR..q.P|
00000010  b9 a8 01 42 6f 2e 32                              |...Bo.2|
00000017

So use a memcpy instead of sprintf to have the correct value:

00000000  f4 91 51 f4 dd 00 9e 9d  65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50  |..Q.....eGR..q.P|
00000010  b9 a8 01 42                                       |...B|
00000014

(the above have a hack to embed a zero inside and check it's
returned correctly).

This is XSA-485 / CVE-2026-31786
