Message-ID: <20120614182745.GA6383@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hi Manish,
The patch b3a271a94d00: "[SCSI] qla4xxx: support iscsiadm session
mgmt" from Jul 25, 2011, leads to the following warning:
drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_os.c:4479 qla4xxx_get_ep_fwdb()
warn: casting from 16 to 28 bytes
(Sort of).
drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_os.c qla4xxx_ep_connect()
705 qla_ep = ep->dd_data;
706 memset(qla_ep, 0, sizeof(struct qla_endpoint));
707 if (dst_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) {
708 memcpy(&qla_ep->dst_addr, dst_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
709 addr = (struct sockaddr_in *)&qla_ep->dst_addr;
710 DEBUG2(ql4_printk(KERN_INFO, ha, "%s: %pI4\n", __func__,
711 (char *)&addr->sin_addr));
712 } else if (dst_addr->sa_family == AF_INET6) {
713 memcpy(&qla_ep->dst_addr, dst_addr,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
714 sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6));
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Both qla_ep->dst_addr and dst_addr are type struct sockaddr. We are
copying sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) bytes which is 12 bytes larger. I
don't know the actual size of qla_ep->dst_addr but dst_addr is allocated
in qla4xxx_get_ep_fwdb() as a struct sockaddr. So we are copying past
the end of the struct here and it's possibly an information leak or even
a memory corruption issue depending on how much space ep->dd_data has.
715 addr6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)&qla_ep->dst_addr;
716 DEBUG2(ql4_printk(KERN_INFO, ha, "%s: %pI6\n", __func__,
717 (char *)&addr6->sin6_addr));
718 }
regards,
dan carpenter
