Subject: [PATCH net v3] ptp: ocp: Fix board ID over-read
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 14:07:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804210751.48248-1-ahmadexp@gmail.com> (raw)

The EEPROM board ID is a fixed 13-byte field and is not guaranteed to
contain a NUL terminator. Passing it directly to
devlink_info_version_fixed_put() treats it as a C string and may read
beyond the field.

Format at most OCP_BOARD_ID_LEN bytes into the existing local buffer
before reporting the ID. Use a precision limit because the snprintf()
output size alone does not bound the source string scan.

Fixes: 0cfcdd1ebcfe ("ptp: ocp: add nvmem interface for accessing eeprom")

Changes since RFC v2:
- Split the safety fix from the net-next feature series and target net.
- Use the short Fixes hash.
- Reuse the existing devlink info buffer and bound the source scan with
  string precision.
- Limit the change to the board ID over-read.

RFC v2:
