    fs/binfmt_misc.c: do not allow offset overflow · 250edf95

    commit 5cc41e09 upstream.
    
    WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow
    the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or
    possibly leak kernel data.
    
    Here is a crash log when 2500000000 was used as an offset:

    Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul.  It will work as the code
    already set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field
    is not empty.
    
    Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX.  Also tested
    with examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
    and other registrations from packages on Ubuntu.
