--- Comment #2 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
For kern_proc_vmmap_out(), we have:

                /* Halt filling and truncate rather than exceeding maxlen */
                if (maxlen !=3D -1 && maxlen < kve->kve_structsize) {
                        error =3D 0;
                        vm_map_lock_read(map);
                        break;
                } else if (maxlen !=3D -1)
                        maxlen -=3D kve->kve_structsize;

                if (sbuf_bcat(sb, kve, kve->kve_structsize) !=3D 0)
                        error =3D ENOMEM;

Note that when filling out info for the KERN_PROC_VMMAP sysctl, we have max=
len
=3D=3D -1.  So we just end up calling sbuf_bcat(), which will indeed return=
 an
error if the output buffer is too small.  I think there is no bug there.

I think you are right about sysctl_posix_shm_list(), we should return an er=
ror
if req->oldptr is non-NULL and the buffer is truncated.  I believe it would=
 be
sufficient to just remove the referenced check, sbuf_bcat() will signal an
error.
