Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mcb: fix kasan read slab out of bounds
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:08:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414130821.134131-2-morbidrsa@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414130821.134131-1-morbidrsa@gmail.com>
From: Filip Jensen <dev-Felipe.Jensen@duagon.com>
Fixes the following kasan bug report reproducible when probing the
driver:
slab-out-of-bounds in string_nocheck lib/vsprintf.c:655
slab-out-of-bounds in string+0x396/0x440 lib/vsprintf.c:737
Read of size 1 at addr ffff88810dd32f94 by task modprobe/661
It is caused for passing snprintf a not null terminated string as a
parameter but in the format string expecting one ("%s"), thus making
it read pass the valid data.
Another solution could be giving a length to the snprintf parameter:
snprintf(bus->name,CHAMELEON_FILENAME_LEN +
1,"%.*s",CHAMELEON_FILENAME_LEN,header->filename);
However, this solution seems less readable and since there is no need
to format the input, apart from converting it into a right C string, a
simple memcpy is here proposed.
