Subject: small buffer overflow in ecryptfs_new_file_context()
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:23:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150131132344.GA10291@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Michael Halcrow,
The patch 237fead61998: "[PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and
fs/Kconfig" from Oct 4, 2006, leads to the following static checker
warning:
fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c:846 ecryptfs_new_file_context()
error: off-by-one overflow 'crypt_stat->cipher' size 32. rl = '0-32'
fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c
841 cipher_name_len =
842 strlen(mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name);
843 memcpy(crypt_stat->cipher,
844 mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name,
845 cipher_name_len);
846 crypt_stat->cipher[cipher_name_len] = '\0';
We're basically doing a complicated:
strcpy(crypt_stat->cipher,
mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name);
But ->global_default_cipher_name has one more character than ->cipher so
it doesn't necessarily fit.
regards,
dan carpenter
