Subject: re: brcm80211: use endian annotation for pmk related structure
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:51:36 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141031125136.GA17467@mwanda> (raw)

Hello Arend van Spriel,

The patch 40c8e95af02d: "brcm80211: use endian annotation for pmk
related structure" from Oct 12, 2011, leads to the following static
checker warning:

	drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:2965 brcmf_cfg80211_set_pmksa()
	warn: can 'pmkid_len' be negative?

drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c
  2950  brcmf_cfg80211_set_pmksa(struct wiphy *wiphy, struct net_device *ndev,
  2951                           struct cfg80211_pmksa *pmksa)
  2952  {
  2953          struct brcmf_cfg80211_info *cfg = wiphy_to_cfg(wiphy);
  2954          struct brcmf_if *ifp = netdev_priv(ndev);
  2955          struct pmkid_list *pmkids = &cfg->pmk_list->pmkids;
  2956          s32 err = 0;
  2957          int i;
  2958          int pmkid_len;
  2959  
  2960          brcmf_dbg(TRACE, "Enter\n");
  2961          if (!check_vif_up(ifp->vif))
  2962                  return -EIO;
  2963  
  2964          pmkid_len = le32_to_cpu(pmkids->npmkid);

The thinking behind this check is that endian data is less trust worthy
than cpu data.  But probably this comes from the hardware so it's fine?

Anyway, let's assume pmkid_len = -1.

  2965          for (i = 0; i < pmkid_len; i++)
  2966                  if (!memcmp(pmksa->bssid, pmkids->pmkid[i].BSSID, ETH_ALEN))
  2967                          break;

We don't enter this loop.

  2968          if (i < WL_NUM_PMKIDS_MAX) {

Zero is less than WL_NUM_PMKIDS_MAX.

  2969                  memcpy(pmkids->pmkid[i].BSSID, pmksa->bssid, ETH_ALEN);
  2970                  memcpy(pmkids->pmkid[i].PMKID, pmksa->pmkid, WLAN_PMKID_LEN);
  2971                  if (i == pmkid_len) {
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is false.

  2972                          pmkid_len++;
  2973                          pmkids->npmkid = cpu_to_le32(pmkid_len);
  2974                  }
  2975          } else
  2976                  err = -EINVAL;
  2977  
  2978          brcmf_dbg(CONN, "set_pmksa,IW_PMKSA_ADD - PMKID: %pM =\n",
  2979                    pmkids->pmkid[pmkid_len].BSSID);
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Underflow.

  2980          for (i = 0; i < WLAN_PMKID_LEN; i++)
  2981                  brcmf_dbg(CONN, "%02x\n", pmkids->pmkid[pmkid_len].PMKID[i]);
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Underflow.

  2982  
  2983          err = brcmf_update_pmklist(ndev, cfg->pmk_list, err);
  2984  
  2985          brcmf_dbg(TRACE, "Exit\n");
  2986          return err;
  2987  }
