Miller" , Alexey Kuznetsov , "Pekka Savola (ipv6)" , James Morris , Hideaki YOSHIFUJI , Patrick McHardy , netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org snprintf() returns number of bytes that were copied if there is no overflow. This code uses return value as number of copied bytes. Theoretically format string '%lu.%09lu %pI4:%u %pI4:%u %d %#x %#x %u %u %u %u\n' may be expanded up to 163 bytes. In reality tv.tv_sec is just few bytes instead of 20, 2 ports are just 5 bytes each instead of 10, length is 5 bytes instead of 10. The rest is an unstrusted input. Theoretically if tv_sec is big then copy_to_user() would overflow tbuf. tbuf was increased to fit in 163 bytes. snprintf() is used to follow return value semantic.
