[ Added linux-wireless to the CC list.  Here was the original check I
  wrote on Friday. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210226140526.GG2222@kadam/ ]

This check worked out pretty well.  It's probably 50% bugs?  Unfiltered
results below.  The trick of warning for "if (ststr(member, "->ssid")) "
and the memcpy length couldn't be verified turned out to be the best.

Protecting ieee80211_network didn't find anything.

Sometimes we're copying from an existing (presumably verified) config
to another config so the ->ssid_len is valid.  An example of that is:

drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c:1685 rtllib_softmac_new_net() protected struct member '(struct rtllib_network)->ssid' overflow: rl='0-255'

drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c
  1674                          /* Save the essid so that if it is hidden, it is
  1675                           * replaced with the essid provided by the user.
  1676                           */
  1677                          if (!ssidbroad) {
  1678                                  memcpy(tmp_ssid, ieee->current_network.ssid,
  1679                                         ieee->current_network.ssid_len);
  1680                                  tmp_ssid_len = ieee->current_network.ssid_len;
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
We can assume the existing ssid_len is valid

  1681                          }
  1682                          memcpy(&ieee->current_network, net,
  1683                                  sizeof(ieee->current_network));
  1684                          if (!ssidbroad) {
  1685                                  memcpy(ieee->current_network.ssid, tmp_ssid,
  1686                                         tmp_ssid_len);
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^
so this memcpy() won't overflow.  It's easy enough for a human reviewer
to make this sort of assumption, but Smatch can't.

  1687                                  ieee->current_network.ssid_len = tmp_ssid_len;
  1688                          }

All the code outside of drivers/ seems correct.  They're mostly similar
examples of copying the ssid from one valid existing config to another.
The other places are using nla attrs like this:

net/wireless/nl80211.c
 14399          if (info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_SSID]) {
 14400                  params.ssid.ssid_len = nla_len(info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_SSID]);
 14401                  if (params.ssid.ssid_len == 0)
 14402                          return -EINVAL;
 14403                  memcpy(params.ssid.ssid,
 14404                         nla_data(info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_SSID]),
 14405                         params.ssid.ssid_len);
 14406          }


Smatch doesn't parse nla attributes correctly.  They're capped using
the nl80211_policy[] array:

net/wireless/nl80211.c
   528          [NL80211_ATTR_SSID] = { .type = NLA_BINARY,
   529                                  .len = IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN },

But there are quite a few real bugs as well.  If anyone wants to fix any
of these just claim a bug, and I won't send a patch for that warning.
:)  Lee, I think you mentioned that you had found a related buffer
overflow fix?  Did the check find it?
