Subject: bug report: xgifb: buffer overflow issues
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 2010 13:16:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100605131637.GL5483@bicker> (raw)
Hi Arnaud,
Smatch reported a couple of array overflows in the new xgifb driver
which was added to staging.
drivers/staging/xgifb/XGI_main_26.c +3080 xgifb_probe(125)
error: strcpy() "0.84" too large for XGIhw_ext.szVBIOSVer (5 vs 4)
3076 XGIhw_ext.pjCustomizedROMImage = NULL;
3077 XGIhw_ext.bSkipDramSizing = 0;
3078 XGIhw_ext.pQueryVGAConfigSpace = &XGIfb_query_VGA_config_space;
3079 // XGIhw_ext.pQueryNorthBridgeSpace = &XGIfb_query_north_bridge_space;
3080 strcpy(XGIhw_ext.szVBIOSVer, "0.84");
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
XGIhw_ext.szVBIOSVer is an array of 4 characters but "0.84" is 5
characters long counting the NULL terminator.
vers/staging/xgifb/XGI_main_26.c +1733 XGIfb_get_fix(6)
error: strcpy() myid too large for fix->id (20 vs 16)
1730 DEBUGPRN("inside get_fix");
1731 memset(fix, 0, sizeof(struct fb_fix_screeninfo));
1732
1733 strcpy(fix->id, myid);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
myid is 20 characters long and fix->id is 16 characters long. I suggest
maybe change the myid to 16 characters and also use:
strlcpy(fix->id, myid, sizeof(fix->id));
I would have sent a patch to do this, but I don't think myid is actually
initialized anywhere. What should the myid string to say?
regards,
dan carpenter
