    KEYS: Fix short sprintf buffer in /proc/keys show function · 03dab869

    This fixes CVE-2016-7042.
    
    Fix a short sprintf buffer in proc_keys_show().  If the gcc stack protector
    is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack corruption.
    
    The problem is that xbuf[] is not big enough to hold a 64-bit timeout
    rendered as weeks:
    
    	(gdb) p 0xffffffffffffffffULL/(60*60*24*7)
    	$2 = 30500568904943
    
    That's 14 chars plus NUL, not 11 chars plus NUL.
    
    Expand the buffer to 16 chars.
    
    I think the unpatched code apparently works if the stack-protector is not
    enabled because on a 32-bit machine the buffer won't be overflowed and on a
    64-bit machine there's a 64-bit aligned pointer at one side and an int that
    isn't checked again on the other side.
    
    The panic incurred looks something like:
    
    Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff81352ebe
