    KEYS: DNS: limit the length of option strings · c210f7b4
    Eric Biggers authored
    Adding a dns_resolver key whose payload contains a very long option name
    resulted in that string being printed in full.  This hit the WARN_ONCE()
    in set_precision() during the printk(), because printk() only supports a
    precision of up to 32767 bytes:
    
        precision 1000000 too large
        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 752 at lib/vsprintf.c:2189 vsnprintf+0x4bc/0x5b0
    
    Fix it by limiting option strings (combined name + value) to a much more
    reasonable 128 bytes.  The exact limit is arbitrary, but currently the
    only recognized option is formatted as "dnserror=%lu" which fits well
    within this limit.
    
    Also ratelimit the printks.
    
    Reproducer:
    
        perl -e 'print "#", "A" x 1000000, "\x00"' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s
