Subject: off by one in sysfs
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2005 23:00:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e47339105061120007061d7b1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
sysfs/file.c
static int
fill_write_buffer(struct sysfs_buffer * buffer, const char __user *
buf, size_t count)
{
int error;
if (!buffer->page)
buffer->page = (char *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
if (!buffer->page)
return -ENOMEM;
if (count >= PAGE_SIZE)
count = PAGE_SIZE - 1;
error = copy_from_user(buffer->page,buf,count);
buffer->needs_read_fill = 1;
return error ? -EFAULT : count;
}
count = PAGE_SIZE - 1;
should be
count = PAGE_SIZE;
Even if your are trying to zero terminate which is unneeded when there
is a count, the count still needs to include the zero otherwise it is
inconsistent when count is less than PAGE_SIZE. Why get a zero page
too?
My attribute is a color_map described by 255 lines of 15 chars plus \n.
