Linux kernel source tree
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:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff989cfd6edca0
IP: load_misc_binary+0x22b/0x470 [binfmt_misc]
PGD 1ef3e067 P4D 1ef3e067 PUD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
Modules linked in: binfmt_misc kvm_intel ppdev kvm irqbypass joydev input_leds serio_raw mac_hid parport_pc qemu_fw_cfg parpy
CPU: 0 PID: 2499 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.11.1-1 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:load_misc_binary+0x22b/0x470 [binfmt_misc]
Call Trace:
search_binary_handler+0x97/0x1d0
do_execveat_common.isra.34+0x667/0x810
SyS_execve+0x31/0x40
do_syscall_64+0x73/0x130
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
