Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] scsi: scsi_debug: scsi: scsi_debug: fix some bugs in sdebug_error_write()
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2023 17:04:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7733643d-e102-4581-8d29-769472011c97@moroto.mountain> (raw)

There are two bug in this code:
1) If count is zero, then it will lead to a NULL dereference.  The
   kmalloc() will successfully allocate zero bytes and the test for
   "if (buf[0] == '-')" will read beyond the end of the zero size buffer
   and Oops.
2) The code does not ensure that the user's string is properly NUL
   terminated which could lead to a read overflow.

Fixes: a9996d722b11 ("scsi: scsi_debug: Add interface to manage error injection for a single device")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
---
v2: At first I tried to use strndup_user() but that only accepts NUL
    terminated strings and the user string is normally not terminated.
