Subject: [PATCH] arch: sparc: kernel: check the memory length before use strcpy().
Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2013 13:26:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51C53571.9070403@asianux.com> (raw)


For the related next strcpy(), the destination length is less than 512,
but the source maximize length may be 'OPROMMAXPARAM' (4096) which is
more than 512.

One work flow may:
  openprom_sunos_ioctl() ->  if (cmd == OPROMSETOPT)
    getstrings() ->  will alloc buffer with size 'OPROMMAXPARAM'.
    opromsetopt() ->  devide the buffer into 'var' and 'value'
      of_set_property() -> pass
        prom_setprop() -> pass
          ldom_set_var()

And do not mind the additional 4 alignment buffer increasing, since
'sizeof(pkt) - sizeof(pkt.header)' is 4 alignment at least.
