Subject: NCPFS memleak/crazyness?
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 23:30:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030309203048.GA31393@linuxhacker.ru> (raw)
Hello!
Looking at fs/ncpfs/ioctl.c (latest 2.4 bk tree), I seem to see a place
where we use userspace-pointers directly (And eventually doing kfree on
these). In NCP_IOC_SETOBJECTNAME handler, we allocated space (newname
pointer), copy stuff from userspace to there and then assign userspace
pointer to our internal structure, whoops! Or am I missing something?
Seems that following patch is needed. (Same problem is present in 2.5
and same patch should apply)
Found with help of smatch + enhanced unfree script.
Bye,
Oleg
