Subject: re: drivers/isdn: checkng length to be sure not memory overflow
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 00:05:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130522210522.GA2800@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Chen Gang,
The patch f39479363e03: "drivers/isdn: checkng length to be sure not
memory overflow" from Mar 7, 2013, leads to the following static checker
warning:
"drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_tty.c:969 isdn_tty_send_msg()
error: buffer overflow 'cmd.parm.cmsg.para' 50 <= 73"
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_tty.c
905 l = min(strlen(msg), sizeof(cmd.parm) - sizeof(cmd.parm.cmsg)
906 + sizeof(cmd.parm.cmsg.para) - 2);
907
[ snip ]
963 cmd.parm.cmsg.Length = l + 14;
964 cmd.parm.cmsg.Command = CAPI_MANUFACTURER;
965 cmd.parm.cmsg.Subcommand = CAPI_REQ;
966 cmd.parm.cmsg.adr.Controller = info->isdn_driver + 1;
967 cmd.parm.cmsg.para[0] = l + 1;
968 strncpy(&cmd.parm.cmsg.para[1], msg, l);
969 cmd.parm.cmsg.para[l + 1] = 0xd;
^^^^^^^
"l" is more than sizeof(cmd.parm.cmsg.para) here so it is an overflow.
As far as I can see the correct limit should be:
l = min(strlen(msg), sizeof(cmd.parm.cmsg.para) - 2);
The "- 2" is so that ".cmsg.para[l + 1] = 0xd" does not overflow.
regards,
dan carpenter
