- Userspace wants to write a string with `len` bytes, not counting the terminating NULL, so we should allocate `len+1` bytes. It looks like the current code relied on having a nullbyte directly behind `kern_buff`, which happens to work reliably as long as `len` isn't one of the kmalloc size classes. - strncpy_from_user() is completely wrong here; userspace is giving us a (not necessarily null-terminated) buffer and its length. strncpy_from_user() is for cases in which we don't know the length. - Don't let broken userspace allocate arbitrarily big kmalloc allocations. Just use memdup_user_nul(), which is designed precisely for things like this.

README
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.
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.
