Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c
commit 27fdbab4221b375de54bf91919798d88520c6e28 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).

xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting
commit 24daca4fc07f3ff8cd0e3f629cd982187f48436a upstream.
privcmd_vm_ops defines .close (privcmd_close), but neither .may_split
nor .open. When userspace does a partial munmap() on a privcmd mapping,
the kernel splits the VMA via __split_vma(). Since may_split is NULL,
the split is allowed. vm_area_dup() copies vm_private_data (a pages
array allocated in alloc_empty_pages()) into the new VMA without any
fixup, because there is no .open callback.
Both VMAs now point to the same pages array. When the unmapped portion
is closed, privcmd_close() calls:
- xen_unmap_domain_gfn_range()
- xen_free_unpopulated_pages()
- kvfree(pages)
The surviving VMA still holds the dangling pointer. When it is later
destroyed, the same sequence runs again, which leads to a double free.
Fix this issue by adding a .may_split callback denying the VMA split.
This is XSA-487 / CVE-2026-31787
Fixes: d71f513985c2 ("xen: privcmd: support autotranslated physmap guests.")
